So at the end of the day, I suppose this is what we know and what we don't know:
- We know that Kerry doesn't want to take boots-on-the-ground off the table (probably won't happen, but we can't predict if or how the situation will escalate if Congress authorizes the attack)
- We don't know whether Assad himself ordered the bombings
- We don't know what the game plan will be after military intervention takes place and if Assad is ousted as a result
- We don't know how Assad would respond to Western intervention, though he hasn't voiced any intentions of backing down
- We don't know for sure what the administration's long-term goals are. Kerry insists war isn't what Obama's asking for, but we can only take that with a grain of salt.
Still too many we-don't-know's for me to support this.
