yep…yep… and yep…as horrid as Assad is, I cringe to think what happens if he falls. Utter and complete chaos. Unless you have a plan to 100% occupy that country and cleanse it of all the weaponry I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole.
Launching a strike to “prove a point” without any contingency plan in place is the stupidest thing in the world. What happens if Obama proves his point and other countries launch strikes on Isreal who then strikes back and the whole place flares up.
