There is no reason for Assad to hold back now. The world knows Obama is full of shiite, clucless and on the side of the rebels. Assad has more power now than he has had in a long time.

Meanwhile ...

http://live.reuters.com/Event/Syria_9

John Irish of Reuters reports: Russia’s ambassador to France said Moscow was ready to negotiate a U.N. resolution that foresees international control of Syria’s chemical weapons, but ruled out a recourse to use force to impose it.... Orlov said he had doubts over France’s intentions by calling for a Chapter VII resolution of the U.N. charter which could enable the use of force.

Also, from Thomas Grove of Reuters: Russia told France on Tuesday that a proposal to adopt a U.N. Security Council resolution holding the Syrian government responsible for the possible use of chemical weapons was unacceptable. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told his French counterpart that Moscow would propose a U.N. draft declaration supporting its initiative to put Syria’s chemical weapons under international control, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Essentially, Russia seems to be seeking more say in the U.N. over the final form of the proposal being traced back today to conversations between Lavrov and John Kerry, perhaps owing to ongoing Syria tensions between Russia and France, the U.S. and other European UNSC members. Reuters U.N. bureau chief Lou Charbonneau reports on Twitter that Russia may be seeking less than a binding U.N. resolution. It remains to be seen how this will factor into U.S. and others’ evaluations of how viable and genuine the Syria proposal may be.

I’ve about had it with the GAS ATTACKS foisted on the American people by the administration. They make a Chinese Fire Drill look organized. Maybe we ought to get Putin to explain it all to us tonight.

Taking out the airforce, and putting holes in the runways, was always the intent of Obama (IMHO). Obama might be in a corner now due to public opinion and the Russian offer. If so, Asad is going no where.

This was Putin and Assad’s goal all along. They will destroy Obuggery’s Muslim Brotherhood buddies with impunity now.

One thing that solidified in my mind by this whole fiasco: I no longer see the rebels as the good guys. In this war, there are bad guys and worse guys. Kinda like the russian front in WWII.

...and does anybody think that, if this were a US revolt, that forces loyal to the government wouldn’t do the same? Or that the government, which condemns this elsewhere, wouldn’t feel justified in ordering it be done here?

Then why are our politicians so busy “deploring”, when they would do the same?
