World War Three?

Is the US about to attack Syria? President Obama has approved air surveillance of Syria to monitor possible ISIS activity, but the flyovers could be a precursor to eventual airstrikes.

Here we go again. Into a new theater of the never-ending terror wars. And into the midst of another civil war. U2 spy planes and unmanned drones are -- presumably -- already in the air, causing the Assad regime to warn the US against any aggressive actions, lest we "Make a mistake" -- miss an ISIS target and, say, bomb his private residence or defense HQ instead. By accident. We sure love our drone strikes. And they do have a tendency to miss on occasion. Accidentally, of course.

Anybody want to guess what Russia's reaction to all this will be? Putin is in the midst of his own civil war in Ukraine. He and Assad are buddies, and probably won't be too happy with the US if we carry out airstrikes without the green-light from Damascus. A year ago Putin warned that if the US engaged in an attempt to overthrow Assad over his alleged use of chemical weapons against his own people, that Islamic extremists would rush in to fill the void.

What a difference a year makes. Now the Obama administration is contemplating airstrikes in Syria against a group that is threatening the Assad regime, because of its territorial gains in Iraq. The end result being support of Assad.
