Possible Western military response to Syrian chemical weapons use

Disgusting. Obomber is a pretty dead on nickname for this man.

Your support of Assad is what's disgusting.

...you know, unless it's too inconvenient or expensive. then maybe again.

Do you support a full ground invasion of Syria then? Three days worth of airstrikes won't change anything.

Hopefully it's a lot more than three days of airstrikes. A full ground invasion would be  counter-productive, but we should have been helping the rebels more overtly with air support a long time ago.

The only problem with that, my friend, is I think we have two sets of bad guys, and the poor civilians in the middle of it. 

Probably to an extent. But even if this is the case, then bombing Assad's chemical weapons capability is still a good thing. And hopefully we can find a way to support moderate and democratic elements in the rebel forces over the Al-Qaeda supported elements.

We sort of are dude. We have been since at least the 1990s, arguably before that.

I don't see this ending well.

Maybe Bushie was right about WW3.

France is a great country, and has always been committed to the protection of human rights and international law. I commend their leadership on Libya and now Syria. I only wish other countries would be as brave and selfless.
