President Obama will strike Syria for 2 days--no more, no less, says the Wall Street Journal:
An American military attack on Syria could begin as early as Thursday and will involve three days of missile strikes, according to "senior U.S. officials" talking to NBC News. The Washington Post has the bombing at "no more than two days," though long-range bombers could "possibly" join the missiles. "Factors weighing into the timing of any action include a desire to get it done before the president leaves for Russia next week," reports CNN, citing a "senior administration official."
And President Obama and Assad are in agreement: only the little people need die. There will be no attempt at regime change, the administration is leaking.
Message: I care. So just take it, Assad, and it will be soon over and you can resume your bloody war for a while in peace.
Luckily, we have a video of the National Security Council meeting where the best and brightest of the Obama administration discuss the two-day kinetic action.
Thankfully, more cautious advice was given and thou shalt not count to three at all. Although given the confusion on 2 or 3, let's wait and see how many days we strike.
Thank goodness we have the Holy Cruise Missile of Raytheon/McDonnell Douglas that Brother Clinton carried in the 1990s. Except for the snuffeth part regarding the naughty in God's sight, this is right out of his play book it seems.
UPDATE: Here's the article that revealed the plan.
