Give it a couple weeks or months.

Especially if others (Russia or Iran) become involved.

Personally I don't think anything will happen...there is too much to lose for this administration. Is it worth to bypass the U.N security council and the U.S. congress just to slap assad on the wrist?

I don't think so.

This is not even in the same ball park, we're talking about a potential strike of cruise missiles and a few bombing sorties...the Iraq War consisted of 100,000+ U.S. soldiers on the ground invading a country.

The Iraq war started with the propaganda of WMDs and that we must take them out. It then built up into something bigger.

Do you have a crystal ball? Do you know what, as you say, is some simple missles and few bombings, will become from there? Bonkers? How about stop being so naive! Even if this new theater doesn't follow the iraq war scenario, doesn't mean it won't be deadly for many in that region including US military men.

Let's hope you are right. Arrogance in the face of these serious threats though, is out of line, in my opinion.

Sunny D is right and war is on a very unpredicted scale and how bad the situation depends on the reaction of action taken in syria.

We can have only two bets on this either being the right or a wrong and disastrous move by the US and all the major key players are involved in this one.

IMO,

This is just a real life exercise between Russia and U.S. to test out, just how good these s300's are against missile strikes. Without having to actually go to War.

All at the expense of the Syrians.

change, my a$$

Examining the way Obama campaigned during 2008 -vs- his conduct after taking the White House leads me to believe that he is nothing more than a figurehead. Since 9/11 could not be accomplished without DoD, I'm betting that DoD/CIA and the federal reserve are calling the shots.

I think the moment has passed... There will be no strike.
The Us won't go without the UK and the Uk won't go without the Unites Nations.

No one is going to tolerate it and they know it...all a lot of hot air I think.

Maybe there will be an attack but as of today I seriously doubt it... the opposition to an attack is just too great.

The UK and France both told the UN that it can be bypassed if needed.

The UN Security Council is divided, with Russia and China opposing military intervention and the UK and France warning that the UN could be bypassed if there was "great humanitarian need".

Look at the moon phases. The military likes to kick off under a new moon when it's nice and dark. That happens next week.
