The time has come for a face to face summit between Obama and Assad.

55. As Usual...

...everyone's an expert on something they probably knew nothing about a week ago. The definition of a "bright shiny object".

There have been years of attempts to reach out to Assad so what sense does it make than, as you say, to legitimize this butcher. The only person whose calls Assad answers right now is his buddy Vlad in Moscow...and ain't that somethin'...seems our President will be in Moscow next week. Maybe that's the person who needs the pressure applied...it's Putin whose supplied the helicopters that dropped the napalm on a school and without his support Assad is history.

While I'm saddened by yet another genocide of innocent people, I'm also saddened by the lack of any reaction from the Arab League (primarily since the Saudis are also up to their royal jewels in this proxy war), the Turks and others in the region who want the U.S. to do the dirty work. Sorry...that I can't and won't support. If the U.N. hesitates to act here, then the blood is on their hands.

Cheers...
