[QUOTE=Laz;1053940038]If the objective is to control the chemical weapons in Syria Obama might have accidentally succeeded.
One needs to review Obaminable's statements last year and earlier this year. Chemical weapons has not been the objective.
If Syria gives up the weapons, which they do not really need, then they can't use them.
How will Obmainable, the U.N., or anyone know they have given up ALL THE WEAPONS?
However, it will mean that Assad is likely to stay in power.
That was the objective ... remember "we" were training fighters in Lybia this time last year to assist the rebels to overthrow Assad. They weren't being sent over there to find chemical weapons.
That would be an issue except that anyone who replaces him could easily be worse.
The rebels, who have been executing the Christians and Asaad's loyalists.
If this means we stay out of Syria I am happy.[
Who said we are not in Syria right now!!!!

Obaminable shot off his mouth last year to look "tough" ... "in charge" .. and to underscore his perceived determination with drones and SEAL attacks. It was a chest-beating moment in an attempt to solidify the "independent" or undecided voters who had "conservative" leanings ... and who may have had family fighting overseas. It was politics.
