Since the one marginally defensible reason for an 'attack' on Syria is now gone - that reason being to repair Obama's credibility after his 'red line' foolishness, something that is now not possible since it would have required a decisive show of meaningful force neither of which are now in the cards given the dithering and the telling of Assad what your 'shot across the bow' plans are, were, whatever - since the one barely [stretching it] justifiable reason for an attack is now toast, if Obama still goes through with it, what would be the reason? Continuing validation of the wholly irrational 'Responsibility to Protect' conceit, otherwise known as R2P. That's what Obama's love of drones is about, that's what the idiocy of Libya was about, and that's what the idiocy of this would be about should it come to pass - turning the US military into the progressive world's hi-tech little police force tasked with doing putative good everywhere so the Obamas of the world can go to bed at night feeling all proud of how wonderful they are. I mean, why the hell else would France indicate it's still willing to proceed even though England has now backed out? France! Socialist bloody France! The reason is obvious: the astoundingly obtuse philosophes of uber liberal Gaul have wanted to turn the American military machine into an emasculated global constabulary for years now and they're more than happy to sign onto idiotic, utterly detached from reality missions if Obama is promising to make that dream come true.
[this story on how the mission profile of UCLASS drones has been changed from one that served the needs of a powerful, China stopping military to one that serves the needs of a global police force is proof of my point. Think about it people, you cannot have both a giant welfare state that buys votes through ever growing entitlements and Obamaphones etc etc and a powerful military - you have to choose one or the other and one doesn't have to be even remotely bright to figure out which choice Dear Leader prefers - and yet still so many can't seem to figure the guy out - it's very distressing]
