The Obama supporters are saying Syria would never have agreed to sign the chemical weapons treaty etc if it had not been for the imminent threat of attack by USA.
Obama played it well in his speech, first giving all legit reasons why Syria should be bombed, and then playing the pacifist card - saying he much prefer a peaceful solution.
It would be a much greater "victory" if the outcome through diplomacy would enable removal of chemical weapons, control and inspections of same and signing of the chemicals weapon treaty by Syria.
I have a hard time believing the request for a no attack promise was so overlooked.
But the threat have to be real, you cannot compromise with terrorists.
So it will be a standstill ?
