I've seen the same assertion from more than one source.

It would be a HUGE mistake for Obama and the U.S. to align themselves with the al-Qaeda linked rebels.

Why can't the U.S. just sit this out?

True or not (gassing claims) the video from yesterday of those wonderful rebels executing people should give everyone pause about exactly what we're getting in bed with.

Some International support from G20 ...

Global leaders step forward on Syria position at G20

If he can't get Congress .... Doubt he would, but he could do as did Clinton in 1999.

So it seems

Quote:
Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey, the
United Kingdom, and the US—issued a joint statement about Syria: “We call for a
strong international response to this grave violation of the world’s rules and
conscience that will send a clear message that this kind of atrocity can never
be repeated. Those who perpetrated these crimes must be held accountable.”

Won't pass congress without a "staged" attack on Americans domestically. Even then, people are waking up and the alleged "attack" will be met with more scrutiny from the American public than 9/11

I don't think they need an attack, but it may well fail in Congress. I'd give it a 50/50 chance.

Even the rebels are speaking out against us getting involved:

Waiting for the Tomahawks - By Hania Mourtada | Foreign Policy

Quote:
In extensive interviews, several rank-and-file fighters and high-ranking commanders expressed the fear that U.S. forces will sweep in at the very last moment, "stealing" the hard-fought Syrian revolution from them after all sides are sufficiently weakened and installing a pliable, hand-picked leadership in Damascus.

The rebels are not a united front. There are 1200 rebel factions and not all of them are friendly with each other and there is no overall "commander".
