The US and Syrian Chemical Weapons - Syrian Crisis PT2

Guardian: Reports on the US reaction should Syrian Regime use chemical weapons on its own people, " The US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, who had warned that Washington would take action if Syria used chemical weapons.. ".

Lets Get Real:

As the US has to worry about its close Middle East allies of Israel and Turkey, IF and its a big IF the Assad Regime uses chemical weapons and these weapons hit Israel or Turkey by accident or on purpose as to draw in the US and unite the Syrian people against the West.   It would be Assad calling Obama's bluff, does the Assad Regime think that POTUS does not have the political courage to take action after the disaster that is Libya, if your in Damascus you have to think that Obama might give the green light to drone strikes but taking on Syria is something else, it would take US ground troops, the 2nd Obama term would be over before it started, lets recall that great US President Harry Truman had his poll numbers tank after the War in Korea started.  Also look what happened to Bush 43 after the Iraq War, the US left would go bonkers and Obama's domestic aims would be destroyed should he try to take ground action in Syria, also the Syria Regime has an air force and is supported by Iran.    Thus a no fly zone would not be enough, there would have to be ground troops, do you see Obama putting in ground troops.
