The fog of war: We need to send a message that chemical weapons won't ever be tolerated. And we ought to do it with the backing of the U.N... unless they refuse.

With the backing of congress... unless they don't... in which case we'll do something anyway.

Obama is leading, since you haven’t noticed. The real sad case is Mitch McConnell, who STILL can’t say whether he would vote for or against the senate proposal.
