Per Twitter, the White House is now ‘consulting Congress’ on Syria. This removes a major hurdle preventing the use of military force. We shall see how all this plays out……
I wouldn’t say it will be a war. We’ll launch limited strikes, declare our goals achieved, then move on. Keep in mind that either side of the Syrian equation isn’t necessarily on our Christmas card list. It really is in our interests to keep the rebels and loyalists fighting for years, even if they are reduced to pitching rocks at each other. The real losers in this situation are the unaligned civilians caught in the middle.
This is exactly what we do not need; to be at war with another country.
