Guardian: Reports the following from Washington D.C.," Obama hints at larger strategy to topple Assad in effort to win over Republicans ".
Lets Get Real:
This will go down well with national security Republicans, not so well with liberal Democrats, thus the Oval will need more Republican votes in the House to counter liberal opposition. This move will go down like a lead balloon with Russia, they need the Assad Regime to last as they do not want to lose their warm water port. Thus folks a limited strike is turning in to major build up of the opposition, well the good rebels, and punch on the nose from the US is turning in to a long term bombing policy if the Oval is not careful. As this blog and others have said, there are BAD and WORSE options when it comes to Syria, the Oval will spend so much political capital on Syria that it can not afford to leave it alone after the 1st strike, it will become very much Obama's War, a War of choice folks, lets hope he has the grace to say sorry to Bush 43 after all of the years of attack for Iraq and Afghanistan. This blog is not holding its breath.
