Guardian: Reports the latest on the Syrian Crisis, " US pledges expanded support for Syrian rebels but no military aid ".
Lets Get Real:
This recalls the weak response of Bush 41 and Bill Clinton to the early years of the Bosnian War, the lack of action as Tony Blair stated of late is a policy decision, the Assad Regime knows it has the support of Russia and Iran, at the UN the Russians block any real action against Syria, while Iran through Iraq air space give military support to Syria. Thus as long as Russia and Iran have the back of the Syrian Regime and the West has such a tepid response more Syrians are going to die, real leadership is about taking decisions that are not popular at home, the Liberal left would go bonkers should the Oval place US troops on the ground in Syria, but because Syria has weapons of mass destruction this might be the only choice folks, lets hope the Obama ego does not lead to the Assad using chemical weapons on his own people, based on the idea that Obama will never really take military action, US Presidents sometimes have their hand forced, Obama might have no choice at the end of the day, either US troops or Israel has to do a major strike, real politic is a harsh business folks.
