He would have responded to 9/11 by holding an opinion poll !

Not bottled, as I see it. Challenged by Russia to wait for the UN report, and it is a checked response to that challenge...........Obama is in Russia soon, the atmosphere wouldn't be good in the circumstance of Russia making their statement and the USA defying it without some more political processing.........

It's politics, and Obama is a politician.....as well a c in c

talk

BIG

act

little

Talk BIG and ACT BIG

and

Have your bluff called

and fall far

MEASURE TWICE

cut once...............

I think in this situation, the use of a tape measure twice is a good move

and Bush of course didn't respond to 9/11 when told beforehand it was likely to happen and then after it did bombed innocent countries.

I'm worried about ITK..war lust seems to have affected him.

Will the atmosphere be good with Putin laughing at him all the way through the meeting?

The grand old Duke of York
He had 10,000 cruise missiles
He marched them up to the
Top of the hill
and then said
ooh, er ... shall we think about it?

Meanwhile, Assad has at least another 10 days to hide his weapons etc

A top Syrian diplomat Bashar Jaafari, Syria's ambassador to the United Nations said "Both Obama and Cameron, he said, "climbed to the top of the tree and don't know how to get down."

Common sense rules.

... and in the meantime, children continue to suffer.

There is no end UNTIL we bomb Syria's murderous un-elected non-democratic "government" (who will, by now, have hidden all their weapons - ready for another day).

Does anyone seriously believe that Assad wasn't behind the chemical attack ?

I ask (yet) again, JK -

WHEN will the opponent say its time for a re-think?

200,000 deaths ?
500,000 deaths ?
a million deaths ?

Yes I, for one, am not convinced Assad was behind the chemical weapons use; I cannot accept your view that the rebels are not killing anyone; I still cannot work out why chemical weapons are any worse than every other kind of killing; and I simply don't agree that we should go to war for entirely national problems in the region.

Seems to me that ITK is talking sense and is the only one with a strategy
The rest just seem to want to continue watching the killing
