#3 * WORLD NEWS > [Irish Times] US REPOSITIONS NAVAL FORCE, BUT STILL NO DECISION ON SYRIA STRIKE.

Bammer response "Full of Sound + Fury, signifying nothing"???

* GLOBAL TIMES > OPINION: NO CURRENT SYRIA OPTION LOOKS POSITIVE FOR OBAMA.

IMO Artic better read, CHINA + PLA ARE WATCHING THE BAMMER'S ACTIONS, OR LACK OF SAME???

VERSUS

* DEFENCE/PK.FORUMS > VIDEO: OBAMA HAS "NO CHOICE" ON US INTERVENTION IN SYRIA - TELEGRAPH.

He has to, or else can kiss US Superpower = International credibility + his POTUS LEGACY goodbye???

* SAME, HUFFPO > [Foreign Policy] TIME TO PIVOT US FOREIGN POLICY TO IRAN | SARWAR KASHMERI.

Read, PEACE, RAPPROCHEMENT WID IRAN = NO SYRIA STRIKE OR ANY MILSTRIKE ON MUSLIM COUNTRIES BY THE US.

IOW, Baby Assad must win.

RELATED DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Iran rival] SAUDI ARABIA WILL FAIL TO ROLL BACK "ARAB SPRING" IN EGYPT + ELSEWHERE.

versus

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRAN GIVES OWN "RED LINE" TO US OVER SYRIA STRIKE.

Third anti-US "red line" imposed on the US by Iran since June.

* SAME > NYT SUPPORTS BEST US STRATEGY IS TO IGNITE [region-wide]SHIA-SUNNI WAR.

Only other "acceptable" alternatives for the US is ...

> PROLONGED STALEMATE IN SYRIA PROPER = where Assad + Rebels + Foreign Militant Groups in Syria fight + destroy each other.
> FULL-SCALE US OR US-LED GROUND INVASION, to remove Assad Regime once + for all.
