Apparently, this is not a joke but Donald Rumsfeld says that Obama has not made the case for war military action against Syria. George W Bush's defence secretary when the US invaded Iraq in 2003 based on "evidence" of WMDs that was subsequently discredited, told Fox News:
There really hasnt been any indication from the administration as to what our national interest is with respect to this particular situation.
In further comments, it appears that Iran, rather than Syria, would be next on his hit list:
If you think of whats really important in that region, its two things. Its Irans nuclear program and the relationship between Iran and Syria, the Assad regime, with respect to funding terrorists that go around killing innocent men, women and children including Americans.

and then there's also the truth that we know we don't know about the real case for war, because that case isn't going to be made to us.

Now, if attacking Syria would guarantee a bloody conflict with Iran, Rummy could be convinced.
