the most horrendous breach of international law in recent history.
Oh please!! Really? What about Rwanda? And even if it was the regime that used CW (still to be proven) they can always claim they targeted the 50 or 60 rebels reportedly killed in the alleged attack, everyone else was collateral damage (and there are going to be more of them if Obama gets to play with his weapons).

And I'm not sure which is more horrendous, killing a few hundred from over 100000 deaths just because one particular type of weapon was used? Or perhaps the execution, by beheading, of POWs and Christian clerics? Or perhaps the ethnic cleansing that is going on all over Syria?

And Obama sure looks like he's trying to spread the responsibility for his red line in the sand (I wonder if I kept a copy of the cartoon of Obama painting an ever retreating red line in the sand from last year?).

And as Syria are not signatories to the Chemical Weapons ban how can they be breaking "international law"?
