My post was directed toward folks comparing this admin to the previous admin and the OP definitely isn't one of those persons.

but so far the U.S. is signalling pretty damn clearly that there will be strikes- from admin officials saying after yesterday's debate in Parliament that they're willing and ready to go it alone, to the setting up of a strike force off Syria to Kerry's speech today to Nancy Pelosi coming out in support of military action to the release of intelligence, etc.

Don't confuse President Obama with a liberal or anti-war figure.
