So true.
In related news, the Brits have delayed their support for attacks.
"Memories of the 2003 Iraq War and political wrangling stalled a key British government vote over U.S.-led plans to strike Syria -- which officials initially said could be launched as early as Thursday.
British Prime Minister David Cameron was forced to change his stance late Wednesday, saying military action would have to wait until the U.N. Security Council had seen the findings of inspectors in Damascus and the U.K. parliament had held two votes, one of them scheduled for next week. Britain's role in the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, which was based on evidence of weapons of mass destruction that later turned out to be false, remains a controversial and divisive issue.
It leaves President Barack Obama facing the prospect of having to act unilaterally, without the support of key allies, or delay strikes that officials had earlier indicated could come as early as Thursday night."
