I think technically mothers count.

Lamentation, not lactation.  Although, that would be interesting.

And that's the great thing about it:  it's low risk with the added PR bonus that "we did something about chemical weapons RAWR".

No one's buying that. They didn't with Clinton, they won't now.

Doesn't have to be effective to be considered intervention.

Then by that definition we're already intervening, since we've got multiple levels of ineffective economic and trade sanctions in place against the Syrian government.  A few cruise missiles will just be the icing on the cupcake, so you don't have to sweat whether we'd be intervening or not, since we already are.

One might say we're intervening indirectly.  Launching cruise missiles or dropping bombs and blowing things up is direct intervention.

You just, like, described the last 50 years of American foreign policy!

That settle it, you need to get a certificate of sanity from the looney bin before making any life changing decisions. Kerry as rabid warmonger? You might be seeing things that are not there.

Heard Kerry on the Beeb. Shit's going down.
