No global policing war in Syria

Americans have learned from our bitter experiences in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya that our global policing wars have highly unpredictable consequences. In supporting a bombing war against Syria, Jeanne Shaheen and President Obama have demonstrated their failure to learn this lesson.

Jeanne Shaheen and President Obama are also grossly misleading Americans with promises that their war will require no American "boots on the ground." They both know well that the Pentagon last year informed the Obama Administration that, if the Assad regime were destabilized by American intervention, up to 75,000 troops would be needed to guard the 40-plus chemical weapons stockpiles and prevent them from falling into terrorists' hands.

Exactly what message is this bombing war intended to send to Assad and the world's bloody dictators? That America will exact retribution if poison gas is used to kill thousands, but not if conventional weapons are used?
