Kerry - attack on Syria will be "unbelievably small"

Haha - why evern bother.

If that is the case, then it is more about Obama trying to follow up on his "red line" comment than anything else.

“We will be able to hold [Syrian dictator] Bashar Assad accountable without engaging in troops on the ground or any other prolonged kind of effort in a very limited, very targeted, very short-term effort that degrades his capacity to deliver chemical weapons without assuming responsibility for Syria’s civil war,’’ Kerry said.

“That is exactly what we’re talking about doing — [an] unbelievably small, limited kind of effort.”

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem told reporters that Syria “welcomes” having its arsenal monitored — but didn’t offer any more details or address whether it would allow its chemical weapons to be destroyed.

Earlier in the day, Kerry said Assad would never agree to such a move.

“Sure, he could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week — turn it over, all of it without delay and allow the full and total accounting,’’ Kerry said.

“But he isn’t about to do it.”
