    A few cruise missiles won't do enough to matter. At best, it could hinder air operations for a day or two, maybe three on the outside.

      i don't disagree, but i'm more interested in why people think the rebels winning would be a good outcome.

        Well according to Kerry and McCain, the rebels are nothing but peace loving moderates. We should be behind them 100% saving them from mean old Assad stealer of milk money.





        Ummm............... course their primary source of infomration was a woman with a significant conflict of interest

        In addition to her role at the Institute for the Study of War, Ms. O'Bagy is affiliated with the Syrian Emergency Task Force, a nonprofit operating as a 501(c)(3) pending IRS approval that subcontracts with the U.S. and British governments to provide aid to the Syrian opposition.

                  I don't know of anyone, besides the rebels, who thinks this.

                              c0ckney, I was responding to kentonio and not you. You can bet that the minute Congress passes a resolution authorizing military force, Assad will disperse his heavy artillery, aircraft, and so forth in preparation for the strike.
