Syria Re-crosses the Redline: Kerry Admits that Assad Gassed His People

I'm sure America is going to do exactly nothing but use stern words and "condemn with the strongest possible terms."

"The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable and — despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured — it is undeniable," said Kerry, the highest-ranking U.S. official to confirm the attack in the Damascus suburbs that activists say killed hundreds of people.

"This international norm cannot be violated without consequences," he added.

My guess is we will lob some cruise missiles and call it a day. Obama does not have the stones to commit actual forces especially when Syria has state-of-the-art Russian anti-aircraft missiles. If we get an F-22 shot down and they parade our airman around the square Obama would enter Carter territory.
