We understand that President Obama is going to make "an informed decision" (Sec Kerry's words) and very likely bomb Syria.

Don't you love how this administration wants you to think that
President Obama has been carefully and methodically considering every
option?
The administration is acting because Syria violated "the red
line" and apparently used chemical weapons on innocent people.
There is also an economic concern and you don't hear that
anywhere. This is the story, according to CNBC:
"Oil
prices spiked above $108 a barrel amid worries that potential military action
in the Middle East could disrupt oil production.
John Kilduff of Again Capital said that Syria's location was
vital, even though it is not a major oil exporter.
"It's clearly become a proxy war for almost the whole region,"
said Kilduff. "What's happening is you have Egypt and Syria that are not oil
producers…
You have a tight market and two significant flash points,and
it keeps getting undermined by things like the problems with the Libyan oil, the
lack of Iranian oil.""
I'm not surprised that a military action would upset the oil
markets. In fact, I'd expect the US to make sure that "oil routes" are open
and oil is flowing.
I'm surprised that the left is not talking about it, like they
did with Iraq. Don't you remember when the left said that Iraq was all about
oil and the Bush family oil interests?
Where are the marches now that we are bombing Syria without
Congress and protecting "the oil routes", such as The Suez Canal?
