I personally would require the UN for any action militarily in Syria.

Which is why my position is that Obama can easily back down if he wants to and lay all the atrocities on Russia. "Yeah, we'll do something, but not without international support. I even put a chunk of my Navy there to make the move, just give me a heads up. 98% of the world is against chemical weapons, I mean, this seems pretty obvious to me."
