Obama appeals for backing to hit Syria, Europeans urge delay | Reuters
It's gonna be a long week between waiting on the UN inspectors, and seeing how Obama holds up in his interviews. Moral of the story is nobody's on the presidents side.
Hi Ari, welcome to DP.
What is taking the UN inspectors so long anyway.
They are acting with lightning speed compared to Obama bringing those responsible in Benghazi to justice.
I don't think the report will even make that determination. The report, I believe, will say only whether or not there is evidence of chemical weapons usage. It will not tell us who used them. If that is the case then the report itself is useless. But then again, it is the UN we are talking about here.It is just a freaking report! Has Assad used WMD's or not!

Personally, by direct order or via Email? Probably not. Did anyone high up in the U.S. gov't authorize fast & fuzzy, non-response to Bengahzi or the IRS using targetted names to enforce tax law? You are asking for some outsider to find a direct connection from the very top of the closed gov't of a very whacked out nation (in all cases that I mentioned).
I understand, but it is a freaking report! Why the content has not been exposed to the media by now already?

Would an official UN report of maybe or probably be sufficient justification for Obama's "mini war"?
I think I heard on one of the news channels that they are trying to make it a more detailed report than originally planned given the extra scrutiny it will receive now. It will probably fall short of assigning blame, but might go so far as to determine the means of delivery, possible location of origin etc etc.
Not sure. I haven't been able to anything that goes into detail about them. It seems like France, Britain, and US have already made up their minds as to who used the Sarin. It would be interesting if the UN report said otherwise.Hi Ari, welcome to DP.

Where are you from Ari?
No. It is a matter of congress now anyway.
Sources?
Perhaps they are being thorough and aren't interested in an agenda driven conclusion.
The USA. Are you in Kosovo?
It takes a week to do that?
You are the first one in Debate Politics to make the accurate connection that fast between Dardania and that meaningless name to us Albanians that live here predominantly. May I ask what is the positive difference between you and most everyone here?

No matter what the report says, I have a feeling Obama will spin it as something that urges us to act against Assad now. Even if the report says that Al-Qaeda launched the weapons on the civilians.
Sorry DDD, wasn't trying to be argumentative with that. I have no clue how such operations are conducted so I was just suggesting that to gather ALL available physical evidence, interviewing every last eye witness, combing over what the US says they have as evidence, combing over what the Russians say they have as evidence to the contrary, assembling a report and then publishing the report so that when they convene their meeting, it will be available for all members. So, I don't know, how long does all that take, you tell me.
