For all the folks saying 'but that video is from the daylight and not the night time!' ..
the claim that the regime in Syria is using chemical weapons has been around since before june.. it didn't just start a week ago...

Take words of defectors with a grain of salt, to say the least.

yet I can show you proof of the regimes attempts to show rebels confessing (fake confessions) to rape and planned staged battles that end in their favor .. and you cant show me any to back up the claim that both sides are parading faux defectors in front of cameras

Let the jihadists fight it out with the secular government, and see who wins out. Not one penny of US treasure should be spent to support either side in this conflict.

Without the evidence they seem to find compelling I am not. Second hand or second rate war whipping has the opposite effect with me but it does not seem the powers that be give a real damn about the people here and abroad although I am sure they think they do on some game board the human race as a whole would gladly fold up and put in the attic.

The means to resolve the situation seem only able to increase the overall body count in detail without directly touching those responsible- against the rules and fearful of the chaos which is actually unstoppably released anyway.
Instead of liberation or stopping a dictator with the traditional means- armed invasion, global isolation we are going to lob somewhat ineffective missiles from a distance. The trouble is at the end of the day the administration is convinced this rolling up of all ME old regimes is working with methods already employed. So yes, we will bomb the heck out of Syria and if the people got enough of a revolution going in Iran we would more than gratefully bomb them too.

Somewhere, towards the end, the actual dictators, tools of the corporate world structure, none of them worth a single hair on the head on any citizen, will be held to pitiful account and the major problems will all be there
minus the drama and most of the international fervor.
