If the international community wants to get involved, they should sent peacekeepers, not bombs. We can't afford another military conflict.

Illegal. War Crime. Why are those terms so hard to understand?
Yah they are easy to understand, Syria used chemical weapons so Syria has both illegal and war crime associated with it.
The US can exercise it's sovereignty to act against Syria for using chemical weapons. The UN can also if Russia, Syria's ally who gave them the means to use chemical weapons, would not block UN action.
Go tell Russia to do the right thing, then you won't have to bash on the US or endure another display of US military superiority.

So Tin,
Your saying that Al Qaeda are our friends now?
And your logic is.....
Syrians killed Syrians, so now we must kill Syrians..
Syrians killed Syrians, so now we must kill Syrians..

Could it be that this destabilization and AQ gaining control of Syria is exactly what the Obama administration wants? If AQ takes over Syria after a "failed" U.S. attack, then there is ample threat to the U.S> to actually go full tilt whoopass on Syria, right?
I said our policy is to supply native Syrians with aid as the competing jihadists make their play, this was outlined by the Obama administration and is part of the public record.
Saddam's regime is gone and his minority sect does not rule the majority in Iraq any longer. You cannot imagine any larger change than that, and it is real.
The obvious lie you insinuated is that Putin and Obama are the same as Assad who used chemical weapons. Your statement is as far from the truth as possible, while protecting Assad through false association.
Putin also keeps our whistle blowers snug and cozy, look at Snowden. That issue is unrelated to Assad's regime using chemical weapons.
The fact that you don't like the US President legally acting in the legal War on Terror hunting down terrorists the world over has nothing to do with Assad's regime using chemical weapons.

If there is so much evidence why don't we see some.
Its like a judge figuring out someone's sentence before the trial starts.
No one's being fooled. This is such a dodgey contrivance and only those with a pro Obama or Neg Assad lean gobble it up without thought.
There's plenty of evidence that many US politicians are plain evil, why aren't we preparing the noose for them?
This Tin Foil creature seems to just want more bloodshed. Lets all put in for a 1 way ticket to Syria and he can get his freak on.

It's a done deal now, Assad is finally going to get rid of his chemical weapons, France is going to propose a resolution in the Security Council that Russia and China will finally not block with their votes, the proposal will condemn the chemical weapons attack officially on record and set the stage for ensuring Assad complies or be the basis for future UN military action.
Here are the idiots that are going to Syria, sounds like you would fit right in. They never considered that they are entering a war zone where control of territory fluctuates. If they get caught as supporters of Assad they won't be hailed as champion activists that is for sure. Expect to see a lot of Darwin Award recipients from this bonehead move.

Haven't read all the responses, but a recent Sorcha Faal intelligence report indicated that the chemical weapons were actually used by the rebels(reportedly unknowlingly) and that those weapons were in fact supplied by the Saudis. To date the US has not provided any aerial/satellite imagery with respect to these weapons from what I understand.
