August 15: "We don't take sides"; September 6,2013:"Deter and Degrade" Assad's Ability to use chemical weapons; train the opposition in Jordan

Like I have said, whatever Obama says, consider the opposite and you are closer to the truth of what he believes or will do. Case in point: a "limited" strike on Syria. Another case in point: not taking sides.

***UPDATE***

Assad warns Obama to stop arming rebels or no deal.

***UPDATE***

"The CIA has begun delivering weapons to rebels in Syria, ending months of delay in lethal aid that had been promised by the Obama administration, according to U.S. officials and Syrian figures. The shipments began streaming into the country over the past two weeks, along with separate deliveries by the State Department of vehicles and other gear — a flow of material that marks a major escalation of the U.S. role in Syria’s civil war."

America cannot determine the future of Egypt, that’s a task for the Egyptian people,” Obama said. “We don’t take sides.”

"Despite statements from both US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry that a US-led strike on Syria would be a "limited and tailored" military attack, ABC News reported on Thursday that the strike planned by Obama's national security team is "significantly larger" than most have anticipated.
According to ABC News, in additional to a salvo of 200 Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from four Navy destroyers stationed in the eastern Mediterranean, the US is also planning an aerial campaign that is expected to last two days."

Worse, the US will train the "rebels"--that is, the jihadists connected to al-qaeda. This is unbelievable, irrational, and treasonous. Besides this, there is no reason to do it: its not to solve any problem in Syria, according to the White House.
When Obama says there won't be "boots on the ground" there will be boots on the ground. Right now, its determine to be in Jordan to train the jihadists (HOW ARE THEY MORE LEGITIMATE THAN ASSAD'S REGIME??), but with that "unexpected" expansion of targets in Syria, you BET Obama will send our military into Syria on the ground.
A two day strike will NOT be two days, either. It will also be expanded, especially after the anger Obama will incite from other Muslims and Obama "realizes" that the depth of the problem will require more than a mere two days that he was "hoping" for (yes, that "hope and change").
