Talking is pretty much our only option at this point. The only justification for us using any sort of military force would be to target and destroy any known shipments of chemical weapons to terrorist groups, or if there is clear evidence of widespread use of chemical weapons by the Syrian military against civilians. Otherwise, we need to stay the hell out of this one because its none of our business.

Sober,
Just from my point of view --I was pointing out that President Obama was --to say the least -naïve--to think that just talking to dictators and murderous thugs was quickly going to make all things correct in the world --not really working out that way.
Although Dennis Rodman is still disappointed that Obama just does not go to North Korea and shoot a few hoops with their mighty leader !!

Syria sarin claims unlikely to spur US military action
Syrian activists are offering horrific images of dead and dying children from near Damascus as proof of a chemical-weapons attack by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad. But even if those claims from the alleged Wednesday attack were verified, observers believe they're unlikely to change the strategic calculus that has thus far restrained the U.S. from direct intervention in the conflict -- President Obama's previous warning that the use of chemical weapons were a game-changing "red line" notwithstanding.

Then why, as the President, did he hawk walk (sorry old term) and publicly state a red line?
He should not have spoken if he did not have the backbone as "THE" US voice of leadership.
I do not want another Islamic conflict myself.
But he spoke, now what?
I do have a what should he do, but he should not have shared such a statement, with no substance.
