Hagel says intelligence points to some degree of varying confidence that Syria has used chemical weapons.
I googled a little but don't want to link to dubious news sources. I heard the guy say it on Maddow. Anyone know how we can keep the war drums from drowning out sanity?

I'll bet the intelligence reports are a little shaky--the WH doesn't seem to think

the evidence is all that solid. Hope we don't get sucked into a no-fly zone or something based on info that's less than conclusive. Actually, I don't want us to get sucked in at all. I might support intervention if chem weapons are used on a large scale, and the rest of the world agrees it's unacceptable and pitches in on the intervention-that's about it. It's not our war.
