<span style="font-size: larger;">Eleven year ago a previous president had &ldquo;undeniable evidence&rdquo; that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction resulting in a prolonged war costing us dearly. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Fast forward to 2013 and we find President Obama going down that same path. He boldly declared that the use of chemical weapons in Syria would constitute a &ldquo;red line,&rdquo; and warned Assad that such actions would not go unchecked. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">It had appeared last week that Obama had put all of the elements in place to send in the missiles and save the day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">For some reason now he is feels he needs to seek authorization from Congress because the &ldquo;coalition of the willing&rdquo; he thought he would get support from has not materialized.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">So as we sit back and watch as Congress and the President debate the issue we hope they realize where we have been in the past (Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, and Afghanistan) and what the results of those conflicts were.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">And hope they ask themselves:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">1. Are we sure that Assad gassed the civilians or did the rebels do it themselves?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">2. What will be the consequences of our involvement by taking sides?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">3. What will be the result of the regime change and who will fill that void?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">4. How will it impact the power balance in the region - who will fill Syria&rsquo;s void (Iran)?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">5. How will it impact the global economy?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">6. Will we truly not put &ldquo;boots on the ground&rdquo;?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">7. Isn&rsquo;t this a U.N. responsibility, and if so why are we taking the lead?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">8. Why aren&rsquo;t the Arab/Muslim nations in the region taking the lead?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">9. How long can we continue to be the world policeman?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Is it too late to brush the line out of the sand? PROBABLY NOT!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">I think Sarah Palin&rsquo;s had the answer in an earlier statement she made:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><em><strong><span style="font-size: xx-large;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Let Allah Take Care of It!&rdquo;</span></strong></em></span><br />
