and all this so one man can stay in power,will the world realise, how inhuman they are

"red line". Cynicism has not limit, it appears, and the US President is one of the best cynics. Why, therefore, should anyone take his words about Iran's crossing of a "red line" any more seriously than his words about Syria's crossing...??

Sadam's weapons of mass destruction finally turned up.

Both Assad and Sisi must be brought to justice. They are beast. Just wonder the action from EU and UN seems to be crawling compared to swift action during crisis in Libya.

Choosing a politically correct option so as not to upset other foreign nations, the UN has shown it again is useless....to the last Syrian. The UN should tell everyone to shove it up their *sses and send investigators there immediately, backed with heavy weapons as cover. This level of atrocity is no longer protectable by diplomatic status. And any nation who chooses to do nothing, let the wrath of G-d be on their heads.

That makes it more likely it's true? Anyway Assad is doing a fine job protecting his own people, his alawite/shi`ite/shitite tribes, HE IS DOING A MUCH BETTER JOB THAN EG LOSERS TSIPI, PERES AND THE BOOBOO

Arabs do terrible things to their own so we take from that it could be any one of us lying there. We need to be prepared.

the BDS fanatics have roundly condemned this barbarity...no?

Hey., I've just got 4 more holes to play and I'll be sure to deal with this before my next vacation. Meanwhile, Syrian civilians, hunker down. We'll be right with you! Oh, and while you're holding that damp rag over your face, cheer up... I have a Red Line!

Very sad indeed - as always. It's not popular to say, but the USA has been burned too many times stepping into civil wars and toppling regimes. The world simply kicked sand in our faces too many times and created too many conspiracy theories that always implicated an evil America. And now she stands silent...but who could blame her?

Symptoms of nerve gas are : drooling, convulsions and emptying of everything in bowels and bladder. No way that "victims" could be "just like sleeping" !

Imagine what they would do with us. Peace is an insane twisted fantasy. The best we could ever hope for as Jews is that the Muslims will treat us like fellow muslims and look how this is.

Pro Assad neighborhood in Damascus was giving our sweet after the news, that's how sad this is.

The world is too preoccupied with ensuring that Israel not build more kindergartens in Yehuda ve Shomron.

Toddlers do not know how to fake convulsive breathing and tremors. You're wrong this time.

the little wee wee sleeps well at night while little children are gassed.

the world is ruled by monsters. the us and the eu has lost all credibility.

which means the US will do nothing. The question is will Netanyahu do the same when the Iranian nuclear Red line is crossed ? Probably.

obama's presidency will be judged as the time when the united states has lost all moral leadership in the world. but then, what can one expect of a man whose best man at his wedding was his polygamous brother?! by the way, where is samantha and her responsibility to protect?

i saw one video on youtube and the child was oozing perspiration from his entire body. many people were convulsing and some were foaming from the mouth and nose.

I'm an ex- British Army medic, nurse and soldier, the symptoms we were told to expect from chemical attack did not include involuntary urination and defecation (although this may perhaps occur at a later stage - I don''t know for sure as I never witnessed an attact) The symptoms we were told to expect were: dilated pupils, nausea, disorientation, foaming at the mouth, profuse sweating, shortness of breath and extreme difficulty with respiration. Ultimately leading to respiratory paralysis and suffocation if not treated immediately with a self applied intramuscular injection of an antidote. This was an antidote which we would all carry with us into battle.

No one forced US to overthrow the Shah. No one forced US to support PLO against Israel. No one forced US to destroy Libya. No one forced US to send Libyan weapons to Syria.

About how peaceful they all looked and what I thought victims of a chemical attack would look like. Wouldn't facial expressions indicate some sort of gasping for breath in the final moments of life? Whatever did kill them - I'm wondering which side in the conflict did this. Very sad to say but - having seen how 'death for the cause' is encouraged/celebrated - I can imagine a group other than the government doing this. I don't want the US to rush to judgment on this one. Russia and China doubt it was the government.

The humane remedy is a truce in place enforced by superpowers.

Dear Mr Obama, You do not go into a conflict to punish, nor to play for time, nor to leave a legacy; you go in to WIN. Due to the fabrications created by Bush Jr and his good old boy admin the US is now afraid to take any worthwhile action anywhere. GET RID OF ASSAD. He is a murderer.
