Israel's Ambassador To US: Assad Must Pay Consequences

Israel's ambassador to Washington Michael Oren said that Israel agrees with President Obama that the use of chemical weapons is abhorrent and that the Assad regime must pay the consequences.

Oren added that Israel also agrees with the president that the use of chemical weapons promotes the use of weapons of mass destruction and encourages governments to attain nuclear weapons. (Yitzhak Benhorin)

Let them at it. No reason for the US to pay the cost in money, military, and political capital. Let them do it.

If Israel feels that the Assad regime must pay the consequences then why cling to the leg of the USA?
