There are more than one way to deliver orders to the field. Regional commanders could have standing authority to use weapons as they see fit--then there'd be no "order" transmitted.

It's not up to "us" to "prove" anything, anyway. That's what the UN weapons inspection team needs to do. We need to be prepared to be an instrument of UN resolve, though, because gassing little kids is fucking WRONG, and anyone who can turn a blind eye to it--no matter who did the deed--is an asshole.

And we can be an instrument of UN resolve without having to put a single combat boot on the ground. Push the button and boom goes the dynamite--and the binary chem weapons.
