From CBS:
[quote]There was no debate at the Saturday meeting that a military response is necessary. Obama ordered up legal justifications for a military strike, should he order one, outside of the United Nations Security Council. That process is well underway, and particular emphasis is being placed on alleged violations of the Geneva Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention.[/quote]
Thoughts?

In a sane world the legal justification should come before the decision. You shouldn't need to request a legal pretext to instigate action.
