Is president Obama going the Bush’s way and walking into a trap? The allegations of using chemical weapons by the Assad regime in Syria may be true or just like the WMD used as a ploy to attack Iraq. One thing is, however, clear; the Ball of Fire that Obama misadventure could create which would surely engulf the entire Middle East. This is what Syria warned the United States about a possible military action over a suspected chemical weapons attack in its civil war, saying it would "create a ball of fire that will inflame the Middle East". Iran has also warned the US to desist from crossing redline. Earlier, doctors said that hundreds were killed in Syria in a poison gas attack.
Reuters has reported that a team of United Nations inspectors is waiting in a hotel in Damascus a few miles from the site of the attack, but Syria suggested they would not be allowed to visit as it was not on a list agreed in July of alleged chemical attacks this year. U.S. President Barack Obama met his top military and national security advisers on Saturday to debate options. U.S. naval forces have been repositioned in the Mediterranean to give Obama the option of an armed strike.
But Syria said any military action would be "no picnic" (for the US).
Right now the US is fighting to depose Assad regime through proxy; the Syria opposition consisting of fighters from Arab countries most al Qaeda elements who have been armed and funded by the US. Obama decision to dispatch its naval forces for a possible attack on Syria, however, is a serious business which would tear the world apart in two poles; Russia, Iran and Syria would fight the combined military might of the West and terrorists of all hues funded from Arab charities and public coffers of Saudi Arabia and Gulf States. The head of the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front has pledged to target communities from Syria's Alawite faith, followed by Assad, with rockets in revenge for Wednesday's incident, according to an audio recording published on YouTube

That is, unless Russia believes that the Rebels used it with the backing of the US to help overthrow their ally...
At which point who knows what Russia will do.

while i agree with your sentiments i would just like to point out rifles (while still used) and bayonettes are not the weapons of choice anymore and most of the damage can be done from a seated position and in relative comfort with the use of financial weapons and tools, manned aircraft , drones, various types of naval vessels, etc.
all of which can do damage at exceedingly long distances from the operator
our ratio of deaths to kills for boots on the ground in recent decades has been mind bogglingly low (so low in fact we lose more people to suicide than combat)

You must be really stupid to think Assad would use chemicals....Assad knows that if he did it would be game over.
Any one noticed how Syrians got Hezbollah helping them as well?
Syria is one big proxy war.

Good point, but why take the risk? The Syrian govt.(Assad) has the momentum and the upper hand in the conflict, has gained support, Why risk losing partners like Russia and China and face total annihilation,? adding this perspective (without evidence) still leads one to a single logical conclusion, that this attack was perpetrated by the opposition to frame the government. Additionally IF the Syrian govt ordered such an attack(understanding the risk)surely they would have picked a higher profile target...edit on 26-8-2013 by all2human because: (no reason given)

Russia will not intervene. China will not intervene. Iran will scream and shout and throw itself on the floor in a tantrum, banging its head and screaming how unfair the world is. Assad will be bombarded to the point where the rebels can walk in and take over.
The fact that many innocent people will die won't even be a bump on the conscience of any leader. Ordinary people are expendable, having no more worth than a cockroach.
