BBC News: Reports that UK, US and France have condemned the Massacre in the Town of Houla in Syria, it is reported that 93 people were killed, of that total 32 were children.
Lets Get Real:
Folks this massacre and the death of innocent children should be a wake up call for President Putin of Russia, but Russia will still block any real action against its close ally, an ally that dates back to the Cold War folks. The Russians want to keep their warm water port, thus either the UK, US and France can push Russia or the Troika will have to take action outside the remit of the UN. Any action Syria is a three way war folks, Iran will not allow its last close ally to fall, it needs Syria to keep its power and presence in the area, thus should NATO take action, the Tehran Regime will not allow Assad Regime to go down without a good fight, Syria is not Libya folks, the Oval could not lead from behind, POTUS would place pressure from his left not to take on Syria, on the other hand he can not afford the image that he can be pushed around, that does not go down well with Independent or Conservative Democrat voters. President Obama does not want Israel to strike Iran before the November elections, the President might face the prospect that he gets in to a War with Tehran before that, so a Israeli strike might not be a bad idea, it would divert Iran from Syria, and in that context the US would have greater control of the outcome, context is all folks.
