While the U.S. Deliberates, Israel Bombs Syria

Here's a good article for anyone unfamiliar with the Syrian-chemical-weapons situation. The U.S. is contemplating one of several courses of action that involve either a military attack on chemical weapon sites in Syria (a dangerous move), or keeping a military presence there to incinerate the weapons (which would take years). Obama continues to shy away from the idea, hesitant to attack without ally support and unwilling to get troops on the ground. We might continue funding the rebels. In the meantime, Israel bombed a shipment of "advanced missiles" on Thursday.
