Syria-What to do

Wondering what everyone thinks we should do in Syria. Sounds like the intelligence could be wrong. I thought it possible that a missile hit a stockpile of chemical weapons that the rebels had. Some reports say the rebels set it off themselves to drag the U.S. into this. Funny how the Democrats seem to be okay with us going at alone this time.
Thomas Jefferson summed up the noninterventionist foreign policy position perfectly in his 1801 inaugural address: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations – entangling alliances with none."
"Al-Assad graduated from the medical school of the University of Damascus in 1988, and started to work as a physician in the army. Four years later, he attended postgraduate studies at the Western Eye Hospital, in London, specializing in ophthalmology. In 1994, after his elder brother Bassel, the heir apparent to their father, was killed in a car crash, Bashar was promptly recalled to Syria to take over Bassel's role. He entered the military academy, and took charge of the Syrian occupation of Lebanon in 1998." - Wikipedia "Bashar al-Assad"
"In January 1976, a Syrian proposal to restore the limits to the Palestinian guerrilla presence in Lebanon, which had been in place prior to the outbreak of the civil war, was welcomed by Maronites and conservative Muslims, but rejected by the Palestinian guerrillas and their Lebanese Druze-led and leftist allies. In June 1976, to deal with the opposition posed by this latter group (which was normally allied with Syria), Syria dispatched Palestinian units under its control into Lebanon, and soon after sent in its own troops as well. Syrian claims these interventions came in response to appeals from Christian villagers under attack by Leftists in Lebanon." - Wikipedia "Syrian Occupation of Lebanon".
Care to get into the middle of all that?
Take every Marxocrat politician who, in a cynical and successful attempt to leverage themselves into power, shrieked that there were no WMD - take every one of them and try them for treason.
This *especially* applies to Nancy Pelosi who *met* with Bashir Assad in 2007 specifically to "stick it" to Bush.
I *will not* fight for these people.
I will sit in Leavenworth as an Objector first.
Count on it.
