What massacres has Assad committed in the last few days?
Spy satellites are mapping every detail of Syria. Constant surveillance. He won't gas again. He doesn't dare. Obama CAN strike at will without Congress, if he chooses to make that decision.
Assad's massacre methods are pinned. No need to take them yet.
And every tempo brings more material to bear down on the pinned enemy.
Obama's Putin's b*? Well so is Kasparov. A couple of foolish, weak, incompetent losers to Putin's super-manliness. Right?

Originally posted by AThousandYoungShelling has resumed, so people are dying again. No gas depends on whether something is done. If nothing is done, he'll dare ... Yes, he can, but does he want to, or is he just kicking the can down the road? You'd think if he was serious about his red line (which has made him a laughing stock) there'd be a plan in place in the event of it being crossed, but no, apparently there wasn't. US support has been limited to small arms and rations ... not even gas masks. But here's hoping he actually does something -- in a week, when Congress convenes.

Meanwhile, it seems that defections from SANA are increasing, while opposition is gaining ground. Defections perhaps owing to gas pictures.
Kasparov isn't a president. If he was one, and was consistently made to look foolish by Putin, then he'd be Putin's b*.
As for Putin, here is the unpleasant truth: http://boingboing.net/2013/08/28/russian-police-seize-putin-me.html

I, for one, hope that opposition forces can take sufficient advantage of the confusion (moving launchers around the country, billeting troops in schools, etc) caused by Obama almost ordering a strike to obviate the need for one.
Here is a hopeful report (unsubstantiated of course, everything is unsubstantiated, in fact the images are fabricated by Mossad agents who infiltrated the CIA in the 70s and ended up taking over half of Hollywood before joining the Church of Scientology): https://www.facebook.com/mrwootwoot/posts/10151838578785289?ref=notif¬if_t=like

Mount Kassioun, which overlooks the city and has been used by the 4th division to shell rebel positions in the suburbs, was said to have been completely evacuated. Instead, artillery had been deployed in residential districts and aimed at the mountain amid growing fears that the rebels could take the stronghold.
At least some of his artillery has been neutralized.
Oops never mind:
Within hours, some elite units of the Syrian military returned to Mt. Kassioun to resume shelling opposition areas.
tanks had been dispatched from the international airport to surrounding villages.
The airport is less well defended against infantry assault now. If they take it they need to destroy it though, not occupy it like they did in Libya. Unless of course the tanks went back.
Well now that artillery and those tanks make good targets again.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungI take it that the primary target and the one furthest removed from civilians would be the desert airbase.
