Just coincidences, I suppose: Until very recently Assad was Clinton-Kerry-Obama's buddy. Obama would love to see Israel in smoking ruins. The U.N. can't or won't be bothered to find out who actually pulled the gas can pins - thus we can't be sure who to punish. Bombing Syria would give some raghead dictator a great excuse to turn the big guns on Tel Aviv.

Collateral damages are, no doubt, currently being moved from anti-Assad neighborhoods to new and very cramped housing inside military targets. These people are NOT like the sons Obama never had. If they die as accelerants for Obama's long tended blaze, well, that's REALLY DIFFERENT than the civilian deaths caused by that old meanie, George Bush.

Oh, and that silly "asking congress and building an international coalition" thing that Bush somehow managed? And the fact that the gas was probably smuggled into Syria right before the U.S. invaded Iraq, proving that Bush had been right all along about Hussein's WMD? - ummm, hey look, a squirrel!

Only when Israel is under attack and desperate for our help will Obama remember his deep commitment to pacifism. Better to be known as the architect of a second holocaust than to inconvenience the Muslim Brotherhood. Huma says so.

Obviously I don't believe Obama blundered us into this mess. He's been shopping for five years and has finally found/helped create a good-enough, plausibly deniable framework for his pals to try to take down the only real democracy in the Middle East. God help us all.
