The assertion by the US official, which echoed the White House's comments on Monday, came amid mounting signs that Washington and its allies are edging toward a limited use of force against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's loyalists.

@Visionist:
Casualties are undeniable - guess that makes it "real". Assad has attacked his own citizens using planes (bombs), tanks, artillery and is known to have a large supply of chemical weapons. Of course the target of the attack just happened to be in an area that Assad troops have been trying to retake for a long time. Seems like most of anecdotal evidence indicates that Assad would rather stay in power than worry about using WMD against his own people - not much different that Saddam.
Obama will do what KSA wants but first the KSA will have to agree to buy a couple of billion dollars worth of American arms.........but of course it will all be orchestrated carefully.
