On top of that Assad is currently winning the fight against FSA and I'm sure that he's not a complete idiot so whats the point for him to use chemical weapons at this situation? If you look into this situation such chemical attack is very beneficial to the FSA(Al-Qaeda being one of the main forces) because they would receive US military support so the chances are far greater that they were the ones who used the chemical weapons.

Well then it's even more of a reason for America to hold the attack until otherwise (otherwise being, the learn more information about the attack before acting so suddenly on such limited information). I still don't think they, or any country for that matter, should let Syria become chaos if things continue happening though. Which is why waiting instead of just deciding not to act period, would be the best bet, in my opinion.

 Sometimes leaders of countries do stupid things, it's not necessarily that they're an idiot, and things like this shouldn't be tolerated so taking the government completely out of the equation for being responsible is not something that should be done right off the bat. I still stand by that they should wait and see what happens. If this all starts to point towards rebels, then of course it wouldn't become as much a national mess, but it'd still be something that needs to be dealt with.

There are United States national interests at work here using the chemical warfare as cover.

The countries not supporting this realize this, how nasty war gets when you are trying to hide the real reasons, and how nasty war gets in that territory.

National interests are usually good for the longevity of America's prosperity, but at what cost would this be. Not only to their forces but also from the collateral damage of war in surrounding countries which would further deface the United States government in the eyes of others and its own people as well.

From a strategic standpoint I do not think it is the right time to move but I would not know what the United States government has been monitoring inside those countries that makes them so quick to act.

Regardless this event is planned, has been for awhile, and is not as simple as the news makes it seem.

The United States government, mainly congress as the president is a figurehead/scapegoat for them and the judicial branch has no power to enforce by itself, is not stupid and would not make a move like this upon limited information. It just seems that way to people who are not given the full story.

I find it funny how they want to attack Syria, knowing that their ally Israel would get most of the heat.

Fallout here we come....Though I might need to go over to some distant, safe place if I want to survive =\

Quick kind of related question. What happened to the Anti Air weapons Syria was given by Russia?

Russia delayed them until mid 2014 I think. Syria haven't actually received them.
