All the way,

There is not going to be a clear cut answer to this debate. What is clear cut is that Obama has changed his understanding of the constitution in the last 6 years he was in office.

Note how he plays with the national pride of Americans by saying I always preserve the right and the responsibility to act on behalf of America’s national security., but he fails to explain how Syrian domestic issue is America's national security.

He sugarcoats lies as American national security so that he can reward his lobbyists who profit from war. One of the important reason he was voted as president was because he promised to finish off the iraq invasion and bring home the troops in afganistan and iraq. But once he got into office his actions have not matched up with his pre-election rhetorics. Chances are he has probably met his "higher powers" who he has to please.

Even when you consider air strikes in Syria, it is a simple logistics to note that there will be heavy civilian casualties. How many casualties will be acceptable? Can this be guaranteed? 

Since, Syrian govt is being punished for killing hundreds of people by using chemical weapon, you would assume that not more than hundreds of civillians should be accepted as casualties of war, but there is no way to guarantee that, and it just seems like one is going way over their heads when they claim to do this for justice.

Most of the Syrian rebels have pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda so at this point, the US intervention in Syria to assist the rebels, just spells Hypocrite.
