Syria: Chemical weapons

I think it's got more to do with Syria being backed so hard by Iran. I wouldn't expect to much extra supply given to Al Qaeda, er cough cough, the "rebels". I guess the Admin is confident they can scare Assad into submission with a short term bombing campaign. Better that than soldiers on the ground and more weapons changing hands. F'in oil...

Yeah but its way bigger than Syria. The Saudis have a lot of influence over our gov, and I wouldn't doubt for a minute that they'd threaten oil supplies to get us involved. They are backing the rebels.
