Personally, I could care less if one half of Syria killed off the other half,
but our President and his Administration DID say that CW use in Syria
would be a "line in the sand." I don't know if you all had forgotten that,
but I haven't. If he didn't really mean it, why'd he make that statement
in the first place?

I understand wanting to verify; God knows there are forces that would LOVE
to have us sucked into that goat-screw on any pretext. We need definative
proof, yes. If the US gets proof, and/or there there is another verified use
of CW, President Obama is going to have to act on his promise or he/we are
going to look awfully stupid/weak/lying to the rest of the world. We need that
like we need another hole in the head, am I right?

I really hope nothing comes of this; Syria needs to knock off even thinking
about using CW on it's own folks and the U.S. DOESN'T need another conflict,
especially in Syria.
