Is there anyone here who doesn't believe a U.S. military strike in Syria is at hand?

[Douglas Carpenter]

Whether advisable or insane, right or wrong - and to what extent will the military campaign go and what will be the short term and long term outcome? - Those are all quite speculative - But does anyone think that it is not going to happen and happen soon?

1. CBS News opines by Thursday -

The question is why.

And I don't think it has anything to do with weapons of chemical destruction.

NSA. This story has been effectively shelved, for the moment.

2. If Assad has Nerve gas....who takes possession of the nerve gas if he is deposed?

Good guys?

Kinda good guys?

Shady guys?

Bad guys?

I hope we know the answer to that question, before shoving Assad out of power.

4. I agree. We really shouldn't be taking sides in a civil war and

in the business of deposing regimes no matter how bad they are. We should offer humanitarian aid and asylum for innocent refugees. That might take some military to defend the defenseless, but I'm of the opinion that if either side lays down their weapons then we should help them. I'm also of the opinion that we be part of a peace keeping coalition like the UN or NATO. We shouldn't attempt this alone.

3. Well on French 24 News, the replacement for Al Jazeera on

Free Speech TV, they interviewed a retired military pundit who said that the question is not if we will go into Syria but when. I hope he's wrong.

5. I think it's a smashing idea (ol' chum) to kill people who have killed people. If we're lucky...

...somebody can kill us. Isn't that how it all works.?

Seriously, I wonder how many people we're going to kill that had absolutely nothing to do with the chemical stuff.

7. Sadly, its not a matter of "if we" ... its a matter of when

I would love to e wrong!
