US And UK Under Pressure To Delay Military Intervention In Syria -- The Guardian

UN secretary general says more time should be allowed for inspectors to investigate chemical weapons attack.

Britain and the US are under pressure to delay military intervention in Syria after Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations secretary general, said more time should be allowed for inspections in Damascus.

Ban said the inspectors, who are investigating the chemical weapons attack last week, would need a total of four days to carry out their site visits and then further time to analyse their findings.

He spoke as a 90-minute meeting of the National Security Council (NSC), devoted to discussing the options for targeted attacks against Syria, broke up in London before a debate and vote in the House of Commons on Thursday on government plans to respond with force to Syria's use of chemical weapons.

Update: UN To US: Wait 4 Days For Team To Complete Investigation Before Deciding On Military Strike -- CBS/AP

My Comment: Timing is now becoming everything should the U.S. make a decision to launch a military strike against Syria. President Obama will be speaking at the Martin Luther King 50th anniversary speech today .... so no attack today. The press will be covering his speech tomorrow for what he said today .... so no attack tomorrow. Many Pentagon leaders are on the road .... they will need to come back if a military strike is ordered .... that takes time. The G20 summit starts at the end of next week .... and I am sure that no one wants to talk about Syria at that global conference ... so no attack then. If there is gong to be a strike .... it will be on Friday or this weekend. If not .... the next wondow will be after the G20 Summit.
