If that's all Obama has up his sleeve Assad and Iran will just laugh. I agree with McCain, the US invests billions and billions into high tech weaponry so US soldiers don't have to die. Deliver Assad a truly punishing blow OR get on TV and apologize to the country and the world for being such a dumbass.
Obviously, we have to make some sort of response to the use of chemical weapons but it sure as hell doesn't need to be US troops on the ground. Do I think a missile strike will do much? Likely not, but that's about as much as we should do. It's a civil war it's not our fight. The only reason we are even involved is to protect US business interest in the region and to put another knife in Russia's back.
