I think Obama will refrain from starting any non UN authorised military action in Syria as the possible unforseen consequences could ignite the whole of the middle East and the effect on the already somewhat shaky markets could make the crash of 2008 look like a walk in the park.

The fragile US economy is in my opinion unable to sustain funding for another war this time on a larger scale coupled with the negative effects on the markets

Also the fallout from this with relations with Russia and China could also be extremely worrying.

No I think Obama may deliver angry press soundbites but will wait until all UN inspections have finished before going back to the UN for any further resolutions.

No stomach for a fight especially one which has the potential to develop into a Global Conflict.....IMHO !!!!!!
