Syria: U.N. chemical weapons inspectors reach alleged attack site
By Frederik Pleitgen. Hamdi Alkhshali and Ben Brumfield, CNN
"Damascus, Syria (CNN) -- U.N. inspectors appear to have reached one of the areas of an alleged chemical attack in Syria on Monday after sniper fire hit one of their vehicles.
"The inspectors entered the town of Moadamiyet al-Sham and appeared to be inspecting the area with doctors, according to social media videos posted by activists.
"The team had been on its way to inspect the scene of an alleged chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburban area of Ghouta..." More >>
Actually, that does sound like Bush II all over again.Quote from fhl:
"(Reuters) â A U.S. military response to alleged chemical weapons attacks in Syria appeared more likely on Sunday after Washington dismissed the Syrian governmentâs offer to allow U.N. inspection of the sites as âtoo late to be credible.â"

Quote from CaptainObvious:
Whoa, that's a Nobel Peace prize guy you're talking about. I find the following excerpts from the Nobel Committee, shall we say, tragically amusing, given his last 5 years of abject failure on the international front. Ahh for the good old days when leftists around the world were all starry eyed with the coming of their new Messiah.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.
Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics.
Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future.
