Maybe because aid to the rebels worked out so well in Egypt & Libya:
Source: ... "We don't want to take actions that would contribute to the further militarization of Syria because that could take the country down a dangerous path," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters. "But we don't rule out additional measures if the international community should wait too long and not take the kind of action that needs to be taken."

Some call it a civil war some call it an atrocity by Assad. In any event it appears to be another UN failure.

Well Google maps used to have a button to get a URL for a specific place, but now i can't find it.  There is, however, a share button ... i got this url by sharing it to myself on G+ ... seems to go right there.  Is that what you wanted?

Yes, and you should thank your lucky stars that our commander and chief is called "no drama, Obama" ... i trust him not to be rash.

I was just thinking about this and will make a prediction.  If Obama wins, we will not have a war with Iran in the next for years ... if a republican wins, we will.  Oh, and Iran will not test a nuke either.

Want to make a bet?
How much? Basically you can avoid war by subjugation & ass-kissing. NP.  On the other hand I suspect Iran will have nuclear warheads. Iran is already threatening to use preemptive strikes if it feels threatened (including some forms of sanctions).  She still refuses real inspections. If Iran gets nukes she can close the Suez Canal & the Straights of Hormuz easily & will surely threaten to do so.  BTW, Obama is ALL drama - very little substance.

Several senators are raising concerns that unrest in Syria could allow that nation's chemical and other weapons to be used against U.S. forces and allies in the region.

"The growing breakdown of order and security in Syria could place its significant stockpiles of poison gases and operational chemical weapons at risk," Maine Republican Susan Collins, New York Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, and New Hampshire Democrat Jeanne Shaheen wrote in a February 17 letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. DOTMIL obtained a copy of the letter.


... There were rumors a long time ago that Saddam Hussein sent some of his chemical stuff to Syria.

The United States says it is tracking a Russian military cargo ship as it makes its way to Syria carrying weapons, ammunition and a small number of Russian troops.

U.S. intelligence believes the Russians are sending the ship to help fortify its naval base in Syria as the situation in country continues to spiral out of control, Pentagon officials told CNN Friday.

The presence of the ship was first reporting by NBC News.

Classified U.S. imagery shows the ship, called the Nikolay Filchenkov, began loading in the port of Sevastapol on the Black Sea on June 7 and is headed for the Syrian port of Tartus, where the Russians have a naval facility. The port is vital for Russian naval access to the entire Middle East.

Now we know why Obama is afraid of interfering with Syria but was OK with Libya
tass: ...A number of warships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are prepared to go to Syria, the Russian General Staff told Itar-Tass on Friday.

“The Mediterranean Sea is a zone of the Black Sea Fleet responsibility. Hence, warships may go there in the case it is necessary to protect the Russian logistics base in Tartous, Syria,” it said.

“Several warships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, including large landing ships with marines aboard, are fully prepared to go on the voyage,” he said.

I guess he can't just send drones to fuck with Syria, eh?

An unholy, but predictable alliance emerges:Syria, Iran, Russia and China plan joint war games, Iranian news agency reports

http://www.timesofisrael.com/iranian-news-agency-reports-joint-syria-iran-russia-and-china-wargames/

The IDF spokesman’s office called the report a “political matter” and declined to comment.

Iran is currently holding talks with six Western powers over the fate of its nuclear program. The talks, said to be held in a tense atmosphere in Moscow, seek to alleviate world concerns that the Islamic Republic is developing nuclear weapons.

Syria meanwhile faces international pressure to end a 15-month crackdown on local rebels trying to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad.

China and Russia have come to the aid of both countries in recent months at the UN Security Council, vetoing military intervention in Syria and expanded sanctions on Iran.

    There is one thought that i cannot get beyond ... and that is Que Bono ... who benefits from the gas being used?   I cannot for the life of me conceive of any benefit to the Assad regime.  Yet the benefit to the rebels cannot be doubted.   I have no doubt that the gas was used, but i have no idea who actually caused it to happen and why.

    my bet is that Hezbollah is behind the gassing.  they are the ones who would profit by a bigger conflagration in Syria.

    Some perhaps credible intercept here ...
    source: Foreign Policy: The Cable

    Last Wednesday, in the hours after a horrific chemical attack east of Damascus, an official at the Syrian Ministry of Defense exchanged panicked phone calls with a leader of a chemical weapons unit, demanding answers for a nerve agent strike that killed more than 1,000 people. Those conversations were overheard by U.S. intelligence services, The Cable has learned. And that is the major reason why American officials now say they're certain that the attacks were the work of the Bashar al-Assad regime -- and why the U.S. military is likely to attack that regime in a matter of days.

    But the intercept raises questions about culpability for the chemical massacre, even as it answers others: Was the attack on Aug. 21 the work of a Syrian officer overstepping his bounds? Or was the strike explicitly directed by senior members of the Assad regime? "It's unclear where control lies," one U.S. intelligence official told The Cable. "Is there just some sort of general blessing to use these things? Or are there explicit orders for each attack?" 


    ... which begs the question of where the sympathies of this "Syrian officer" lay.

    Seth says
    So why is this information not brought before the UN & the UN shamed for allowing such to happen without some kind of raid to get Assad & bring him up to the World Court? At least I would think that shaming the UN with accurate provable intel would be worthwhile . What's the hurry? Revenge is a dish best served cold! We should have enough satellite info & drone surveillance to tell where all the stuff is moving to.


    Seth says
    ... Secretary of State Kerry spells out the case for a strike against Syria.

    Apparently it is all about integrity, doing what you say you will do. 

    This dilema would not have arisen, had Obama not drawn his red line.   But he did draw it, so here we are.

    The Wikipedia on the Syrian Civil War "Arab Spring" revolt against the Baathist regime of Assad is here.


    Seth says
    Rush & Bodansky inquire into Seth's idea that maybe Assad didn't do it.  After all, what was the payoff for Assad? Did he not know that it would make him a pariah to the UN & others? What if the rebels knew this & those of the AlQueda persuasion did it to draw Obama into beating up on Assad for them?
    The UN finally wakes up!
    source: ... "As I have repeatedly said, the Security Council has primary responsibility for international peace and security," Ban said at a news conference. "The use of force is lawful only when in exercise of self-defense in accordance with article 51 of the United Nations Charter and or when the Security Council approves such action.
    ...
    So the unanswered questions - in contrast to the emotional hype - is what is the US strategic interest in Syria?  What good will $300,000,000 barage of cruise missiles as a message do for our strategic interest or to stop Asad? With all the stuff moved around who will be laughing at us besides most of our enemies?
    Not raised anywhere else is the fact that Clinton bemoaned that he was not a war-time president & Bush was.  Has Obama's ego gone so far that he is trying to start a war & torch off the ME for agenda purposes?  Chemical weapons cause death - a bit slower than terrorist bombs & drones & modern war armament.

    ... I did say that was a possibility but also reported subsequent intelligence that the gas did come from Assad's forces.  Apparently the Assad government "underestimated" the US resolve.  But, who knows, our Congress might just validate Assad's assessment.
    Well the US & POTUS may not all be on the same page.  Maybe POTUS can open the candy store to bribe congress to agree with him & go to war. I hope not.  It is not surprising that the Baathist Saddam Hussein, while the UN & US dithered around, let his weapons escape to Syria. Anyone yet disprove that? Where did the weapons used come from? Those now for war have switched sides. Those killed by Saddam in total were more than those killed by whomsoever did it in Syria. If we could get Osama Bin Laden by a quick commando raid AND we have real proof that Assad did it why not do so & bring Assad to trial before the World court.  Now that would set a precedence for a Nobel Prize for Peace instead of an ineffective break a few things wag the dog party.

    If it was some rebel AlQueda infiltrators within Assad's military then the whole retaliation is wrong & the UN needs to help purge them out & bring them to justice in the world court.

You really should listen to his press conference where he DID draw the line. The Obamalagnia infected with their accomplices in the M$M will never see his urine dribbling down their own chins.  Obama has already made a laughing stock of US policy in the Middle East.  He was against worse instances military action against chem weapons atrocities when he was in the senate.

    Well, yes, certainly i agree, whoever commanded the gassing should be brought up on war crimes.  But those names are not public ... and almost impossible to ferret out with any degree of legal proof. 

    In any case, I did not point to "rebel AlQueda infiltrators" here.  Rather i pointed only to "commanders, inside the Assad military who have a differet agenda".   There are other actors, not just AlQueda ... there is Hezbohla, and people backed by Iran who might want to see a giant conflagration.  Hell, even Obama haters could have an agenda here.  In fact the simplest motive is most likely what happened.  They just didn't think Obama would strike, and by us not striking they would win a big propaganda victory.    But, it really does not matter in the least now who instigated it, or even why  ... it was Assad's gas and Assad's missiles and Assad's military commanding the murder. 
    Maybe, maybe not!  We have no evidence except the word of those who claim so because they want to retaliate.  Apparently it is all classified.  Remember Colin Powell before the UN claiming biological weapons trucks & WMD & when we invaded they escaped to somewhere ... Syria?

    Source: ... The scene of Syrian rebels standing over seven soldiers of the Syrian regular army while the rebel commander recited a bloodthirsty poem—and pointing rifles and a pistol at the heads of their prostrate, shirtless, and badly beaten prisoners—was shocking enough. Times video editors tactfully blackened the screen as the rebels—who, just like the United States government, oppose the regime of dictator Bashar al-Assad—began to execute the soldiers; the only indication of the slaughter taking place was a noisy fusillade of 10 seconds in length. Then an image flashed of the broken bodies in a mass grave.
    ...

    WashTimes: ...

    Eleven Syrian rebel groups, including a powerful al Qaeda affiliate, have rejected the Western-backed opposition coalition, calling for a new Syria under Islamic law and dealing a severe blow to U.S.-led efforts to support a democratic alternative to embattled President Bashar Assad.

    In a statement read out in an online video late Tuesday night, the rebel alliance called on other militants fighting to topple the Assad regime to unite under a “clear Islamic framework.”

    SEE ALSO: On second thought…Assad can stay

    “The prospect that the Islamists are going to be able to set up some sort of overarching political and military coordination and organizational structure should be troubling not only to the Syrian secular opposition, but also for Washington,” said David Schenker, director of the program on Arab politics at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
