I've yet to see any piece covering Kerry's comments today about what proof USG has re CW being used by Assad to mention the intercepts were Israel's rather than our own. I find that disturbing. We deserve to know if our gov't is acting on our own gov'ts intel or intel of another country. It goes back to that "special relationship." Our interests and those of Israel are not mutually inclusive. Those lines must not be blurred, IMO.

Even if Assad used chemical weapons, the west has no mandate to act as a global policeman

By ordering air strikes against Syria without UN security council support, Obama will be doing the same as Bush in 2003

I will never forget the photograph of the Kurdish Father, holding his baby Daughter, on the cover of time or news week magazine, poisoned and gassed under the regime of Saddam.

Murder is Immoral.

Ignoring murder is immoral.

Jordan: No attacks on Syria from our soil

"Jordan will not be a launching pad for any military action against Syria," said spokesman Mohammad Momani, who is also the country's information minister.

He said Jordan prefers a "diplomatic solution to the Syrian crisis" and called on the international community to "consolidate efforts in that regard."

Russia Rejects US Claims on Syria: Situation Undermining Efforts

"John Kerry put forward judgments which he said were based on information from reliable sources and according to which the Syrian government is to blame for the incidents with the probable use of chemical weapons," the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.

About being to late:
A delay in accessing the site is not believed to negatively affect the investigation. Speaking to journalists in New York, a UN spokesperson said that “with hundreds of human fatalities, the passage of such few days does not affect the opportunities to collect valuable samples and to perform witness interviews.”http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=45708#.Uh2G6D8piRM
