One of the smartest moves our President has ever made!

39. I totally agree. This was brilliant!

Perhaps this move will also allow a little more time for real facts about who is responsible to come out.

President Obama is absolutely right that the world community (which the US had a principal role in establishing post WWII) should not allow any regime/government to use chemical weapons - or any other, for that matter - against its own people. Otherwise, the Geneva Conventions have no teeth whatsoever. But factual attribution of this event is still murky.

The Assad Regime has behaved so reprehensibly throughout the past two years that it is difficult to give them credibility for anything, but there are just too many other interested players - and different rebel factions supported by them - to take the easiest course, which is to blame the regime, without also getting input from those who are much more disinterested than the sources we appear to be relying on.

Hopefully, this will stop the corporate-controlled media themes of "Obama action/inaction" - at least, for a short time.

Now, it's time for us all to let our "critters" know how we feel.
