Kitty, your news source is blatantly clouding the real picture. For starters calling the rebels the "Free Syria Army" is a farce. The are funded, provided arms, support and led by Al Queda. That is who will run Syria if they win.
As for the Arab league support, yes they will be completely behind it. Why? because having Al Queda run Syria is much better for them then having Assad run Syria. However I bet they will vote for support in principal and not commit one peso or person to the effort.
Why does Israel support a US strike? They want to know we will follow through with our commitments in any Middle East conflict. They also want those chemical weapons destroyed before they fall into the hands of Al Queda. And to let Iran know we will follow through on our "do not allow nuclear arms" commitment to Israel.
Our leadership in Washington has bungled this beyond belief. It is an utter and complete failure of our foreign policy.
