The New York Times has the article Experts Fear U.S. Plan to Strike Syria Overlooks Risks.

“Our biggest problem is ignorance; we’re pretty ignorant about Syria,” said Ryan C. Crocker, a former ambassador to Syria and Lebanon, who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan and is dean of the Bush School of Government and Public Service, Texas A&M University.

In outlining its tentative plans, the Obama administration has left many questions unanswered. Diplomats familiar with Mr. Assad say there is no way to know how he would respond, and they question what the United States would do if he chose to order a chemical strike or other major retaliation against civilians.

That would leave the United States to choose between a loss of credibility and a more expansive — and unpopular — conflict, they said. “So he continues on in defiance — maybe he even launches another chemical attack to put a stick in our eye — and then what?” Mr. Crocker said. “Because once you start down this road, it’s pretty hard to get off it and maintain political credibility.”

I am so confused.  Here I am agreeing with the Dean of the Bush School of Government and Public Service, Texas A&M University.  Moreover, this article is being published by the Iraq warmongers at The New York Times.

It’s enough to make my head spin if it were not for the fact that I am standing still and the other people are doing the flipping and flopping.
