On further reflection, he's meeting with the President of China tomorrow. This will presumably give greater weight to his claim that if China won't do something about the Crazy Fat Kid, we will.
Also, from the news reports, he apparently told the Russians beforehand, so they could get their people out of the way. Still, in and of itself, I don't think we should have gone there. Assad's no threat to us, and never has been. On the other hoof, if it's to intimidate the Chinese and Koreans, then it's a justified risk.
The longer I think about it, the more comfortable I am with the idea. We'll find out soon.
