Wait, the UN inspectors; escorted by Assad forces, waltzed into rebel held territory? Then, have the leisure of spending 4 days there?
Not buying it.
Not buying it.
We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.
Perhaps what we all have here is the same position the late Georgian, Bill Munday, pioneer sportscaster, found himself in one evening before he was to broadcast the Yale-Harvard football game. "Who do you prefer in tomorrow's game?" a Harvard student asked him, "Yale or fair Harvard?"
"Neither one," he said. "You're all a bunch of damn Yankees and I hope you both lose."

Later. Let's play Global Thermonuclear War.
You know that fleet they sank off the Bikini Islands - I think with a hydrogen bomb, well it's loaded with marine life now. But the Bikini Atoll is still radioactive. Does salt water negate all that radioactivity?
I think the reactor in Japan is proving salt water isn't enough to stop radiation.
On another note, the supreme leader of Iran (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) broke silence today on this issue saying:
"The U.S. threats and possible intervention in Syria is a disaster for the region and if such an act is done, certainly, the Americans will sustain damage like when they interfered in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Not according to Spongebob Squarepants.
You know, they sank some mighty fine ships at Bikini. Including Japanese I-Boats. Gigantic submarines.
Obama: U.S. Has 'Concluded' Assad Used Chemical Weapons In Syria
In an interview with PBS NewsHour on Wednesday, President Obama said the U.S. had "concluded" that the regime of Bashar Assad used chemical weapons during an attack last week near Damascus that reportedly left hundreds dead and potentially thousands more injured.
"We have looked at all the evidence, and we do not believe the opposition possessed nuclear weapons on – or chemical weapons of that sort," Obama said. "We do not believe that, given the delivery systems, using rockets, that the opposition could have carried out these attacks. We have concluded that the Syrian government in fact carried these out. And if that's so, then there need to be international consequences."
