I can't stand Leonard Lance - but even though it's obvious he is agreement on getting us into a war before the UN inspectors are through (they are touring more tomorrow correct?) - he is asking the President to come to Congress for approval.

Unless I missed something - are we 100% certain it was Assad? Was it the rebels? Was it Assad making it look like the rebels?

People are suffering needlessly - but we need clarity as to why. Throwing random bombs at another country is not going to resolve this in a few hours.

And someone at the UN (Power) needs to say the word Genocide. Then it becomes a global issue which requires all members who have signed the Genocide Conventions to work together to find a solution.
