From the hearings: The message is to Iran and North Korea that when we tell them they can't do this, that or the other thing (ie: own nukes) is that if we are willing to bomb Syria we will be willing to bomb them; and if we are not willing to stop Syria, we certainly will not follow thru on our threats to Iran/N Korea.
