#2 I hope that the community organizer in chief knows Vlad will not simply stand idly by and do nothing. Sadly, his democratic conspirators and the French Republicans in congress both want a strike. More time, distance, and developing international events are need to distract from the sandals and Obamacare.

#3 Having a real problem understanding why the US of A should be involved (see Lord Palmerston). Is this not a UN sort of thing? NATO is planning strikes? WTF? Are Syrian citizens now honorary members of the mutual-defense organization?
