re: #63 ProTARDISLiberal
I found Sweden’s response to the Chemical Attack, and it is very, very telling.
We now have a government official in their Defense Ministry calling for people not to go to the UNSC. That has never happened before. Sweden is a big supporter of the UN.
Well, the peace-loving Irish and the cowardly Swedes stayed out of WWII..

I don’t think that the US has any choice but to initiate an attack on Damascus. The question is whether it will be a stand-off attack using ship-launched cruise missiles out of USN assets in the Med or if it will be a be a more precision B-2 sortie (with EA6-B air defense fuckers punching a hole for it) into the City. Sunday may be a traditional day of rest, but I think it will be a busy time for the USN/AF.
Blue skying, here, but it’s what I would do. A measured response. Assad needs to get his chinless ophthalmologist’s nose bloodied.
