About those chemical weapons? Who really used them?

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/uns-carla-del-ponte-says-there-is-evidence-rebels-may-have-used-sarin-in-syria-8604920.html

When I heard Obama say he was drawing a line in the sand, I knew the war with Syria was about to escalate. One doesn’t draw lines for peaceful purposes.

But absent some catalyzing event, will the American public support the continuation of our ME policy? Would we support another ME war? After all 911 happened a decade ago, and aside from that landing gear that just happened to surface last week; what acts of terror do we have?

The bombings in Boston will be used (already have) to reinforce Muslim hatred and justify our unjustifiable ME policy. A good percentage of Christians, Southerners and Republicans needed no reinforcement, but those liberals in Boston and the NE needed to be reminded. Apparently, it worked.
