* 1ST HEADLINES > NEXT STEPS IN SYRIA STILL RISKY FOR OBAMA.

* INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM > [Guardian.UK] AMERICAN THREATS WIDEN FAULT LINES AMONG SYRIA'S REBELS.

* BIG NEWS NETWORK > [News24] US WON'T ACCEPT RUSSIA'S DELAYING TACTIC TO GET SYRIA TO HAND OVER CHEMICAL WEAPONS [to UNIAEA]: KERRY.

Time is approaching when MilOps will either be LIMITED, or else just NOT AVAILABLE/REALISTIC, for the US to conduct.

Iran? China? are still out there, ESPEC LONG-TIME "NUCLEAR CLUB" MEMBER CHINA THAT MAY POTENTIALLY FIGHT THE US ON THREE [more?] PARALLEL/SIMULTANEOUS FRONTS.

THE ON-GOING SYRIA CRISIS THUS FAR MAY BE BAD FOR US FOREIGN POLICY + CREDIBILIY, BUT IT TAINT THE WORSE THATS OUT THERE FOR AMERICA = AMERIKA.
