The chinless leader of Syria is in big trouble with John Swift-boat Kerry, US Secretary of State. He gave a litany of reasons why we think the Assad regime is using chemical weapons and I am sure that with Kerry's fist-shaking, and Obama's history of fist-shaking, Assad is shaking in his Ferragamo shoes.
Last week Obama demanded that Syria allow UN inspectors into the area where the alleged chemical attack took place, but the vehicles carrying the inspectors were fired upon and one vehicle was hit by sniper fire. The area where the chemicals were alleged to be used was bombarded with rockets and other ordnance. So the convoy had to return to the hotel and the area where they were headed was destroyed of any useful evidence of a chemical attack. This can only lead us to conclude that Assad is, in fact, killing his citizens with chemicals and does not want us to see the proof.
Assad sans chin, warned the USA that we'd better not try anything funny with him and his country. "They can start a war but they won't know where it will end," the Ass Man said, and he compared our military potency to the Vietnam War and how we left with our tails between our legs.
We still have no clear objective if we attack, and Obama doesn't come across to Syria as a serious threat. Whatever we do, it's going to affect how Iran reacts--if we strike, Iran will probably hustle with their nuclear arms program. I believe if we're going to strike, we had better take out their chemical weapons and try to eliminate some of the upper echelon of the Assad regime. I believe we need to do something about Iran's nuclear program, perhaps with the help of Israel, but to sit back and do nothing, we're risking Iran going nuclear.
In any case, the longer we wait and do nothing about Syria, the worse will be the outcome. The line in the sand sounds like it was just a line. But the scariest part of all this isn't what might happen if we take action, the scariest thing is knowing that if we do, Chuck Hagel is the Secretary of Defense.
