"Brief and limited"

We're going to launch a few very expensive missiles at them for a couple of days and then call it quits.

Stupid. This does nothing but invite other "players" to act. I wonder what Obomba will do if Syria decides to lauch a couple of missles into Israel, or worse?......

yep. Which will do what? We're already telegraphing the date. Are we going to tell them the locations too? And how are they going to gauge the Russian/Iranian/Chinese response? Any action will make them look ineffective too, even if ours is a slap with the gloves delivered by Obama's sissy wrist. It's a "this time we mean it" shot.

Yep. I think Iran has promised to abuse Israel in some way if we attack Syria. So are we going to allow them to slap back too?

We did the same thing when Clinton was President - we bombed Iraq and told them we would call it off in a few days when Ramadan started.

"Also, the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins this weekend. For us to initiate military action during Ramadan would be profoundly offensive to the Muslim world ..."

Yeah ... bombing someone is only offensive to them if you do it on a religious holiday. I know if you bomb my home town, I'm perfectly fine with it as long as you avoid doing so on Christmas and Easter.

yeah. And it's a nonchalant bombing. "We're going to blow up a couple sand piles at 1pm and then have you over for dinner at 5pm". And they're supposed to be "oh, it's just the bare minimum to not be mocked, yippy!".

Notice too how they're going out of their way to not talk about where the WMDs came from.

A Drive-By Bombing With What Result in mind?

Obama has bypassed getting approval by Congress deferring to the UN Security Council. But Russia has voted no, so it's a one man Obama show in launching Cruise missiles if we attack.

We are sending several aircraft carriers to the Middle East to 'punish' Syria.
We aren't bombing for regime change. We aren't bombing to destroy any of their weapons. We are showing up to punch them in the eye and then taking our toys and going home.

We don't know which side really used the nerve gas and no one from the administration has declared which side we intend to bomb. What is going on here?

Could it be a catalyst for this?

I'm sure they're looking for any reason to bomb Israel. The Arab world is nuts. What did Israel do in this? Nothing, but that's like diggety posting something stupid and banning chuck for it in retaliation. We need to start calling out their attacks on unrelated parties. Or just cut through the middle man and bomb Iran instead of Syria.

I read this earlier today:

If Obama planned D-Day like this Syria attack

Aug. 20, 1943--During a White House news conference President Obama warns Adolph Hitler to stop killing innocent civilians in occupied Europe. "We have been very clear with the German regime and its Italian cronies that any more killing of innocent civilians would be a red line for me. That would change my calculus."

Aug. 21-Dec. 30, 1943--Thousands more innocent civilians are murdered.

Jan. 20, 1944--Presidential Press Secretary Jay Carney, at a media briefing, reminds the Fuhrer of the president's August warning. Says the clock is running and Obama's red line remains in effect somewhere.

Feb. 2, 1944--Carney is asked for reaction to reports that millions of members of one specific religion have been gassed. He acknowledges the reports, but says the administration needs to gather facts before jumping to conclusions. He reminds reporters of Obama's fondness for calling on others to do stuff and notes Obama had previously called on Hitler to surrender following numerous victories.

April 4, 1944--Seeking to combat their boss' reputation for throwing a hail of empty words at every foreign problem, presidential aides inform White House reporters that Obama has ordered military preparations for a massive surprise invasion of Europe.

May 14, 1944--Aides tell reporters the president is considering options presented by his national security team and that the surprise invasion could come some time in the next few weeks.

Probably when there's a full moon. And high tides. Like early June. On a weekday. Right after a storm.

June 1, 1944--Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel says a massive armada of hundreds of ships carrying troops, supplies and vehicles has assembled near Europe for the surprise invasion.

For security reasons, Hagel won't say where exactly the ships are -- except that they're clustered just beyond radar range off the Atlantic coast of France in the English Channel between Le Havre and Cherbourg, centered on Sainte-Mere-Eglise.

He said numerous squadrons of planes had been positioned in southern Britain just across from invasion beaches. Other planes would drop aluminum chaff from high altitudes to confuse German radar.

Hagel credited the president with a brilliant ploy to con Germans into thinking the invasion was coming where it wasn't, namely the Pas de Calais, lead by a fictitious U.S. Army division. He said during the first week some 600,000 troops would actually land on the Normandy beaches to the East by June 13.

June 3, 1944--Obama aides called a 48-hour lid on any attacks, saying the invasion would not come on the weekend when the president golfs.

They refused to confirm that history's largest secret invasion was scheduled for Monday, June 5. They said it could be pushed back to Tuesday, June 6, when German defenders would just be emerging from storm shelters.

But they asked not to be identified because they're only authorized to heap credit on the commander-in-chief, not themselves.
