12. Going to the UN to get a Resolution to get Syria to allow Weapons Inspectors in

to locate the Chemicals and dispose of them might have gotten both Russia and China onboard. But, we didn't do that when the first reports came in last year of possible Chem Weapons being used. Now we have our "hair on fire" about the latest use ...which leads many to think that this isn't about the weapons use or who is responsible for their use (still in dispute) but that we want to strike them for the purpose of destabilizing country and then move on to bomb Iran.

The chemicals are there and probably in the insurgent areas as well as in areas Assad controls. How are we going to take these weapons out with "surgical precision" when they may be in civilian areas where hitting the weapons will release even more death and destruction.
