US Remains Opposed To Military Action In Syria
2012-05-29
The White House says it remains opposed to military action in Syria, reasoning that it would only lead to more carnage.

Spokesman Jay Carney says the Obama administration will continue offering non-lethal assistance to the Syrian people. Following a gruesome weekend massacre in Syria, Carney says the US is working with its allies to assess further action, but he is giving no specific detail about what those next steps might include.

#3  Did they learn something from Libya or does it have something to do with Syria's lack of oil?

More like Syria's presence of S-300.
