they already took the deal I thought
Sort of took the deal. Squirming now that the Saudis and Qatar are still wanting Assad toppled for the pipeline. Now they are talking that it is nice BUT we want unacceptable or unattainable conditions put on it and we want the approval to use military force (trust us) if “required”. Additionally, there is now talk or requiring the strike anyway to mete out “punishment” for the use of chemicals .... but to be done quickly before the European and UN reports show that there is a real possibility that it was rebels who used the chemicals. His Arrogance is caught between a hard place and a rock by having already guaranteed the Saudis and Qatar that he would topple Assad.
