Whether the United States should intervene in Syria is open to debate, but one thing is settled: that red line the president and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton drew in the sand last year has faded into invisibility. In an interview broadcast today on CNN, President Obama called this week’s reports of a chemical weapons attack “something that is going to require America’s attention.”
National Security Advisor Susan Rice gave Syria some of her attention today in a pair of tweets, demanding an immediate investigation into those gas attacks, or else. Or else what? Or else we’ll just have to assume President Bashar al-Assad is guilty. Again.
What is Bashar al Assad hiding? The world is demanding an independent investigation of Wednesday’s apparent CW attack. Immediately.

Otherwise, we’ll all conclude that Assad is guilty and lying-again.

.@AmbassadorRice Magic word in your tweet: again. What happened when you found out he was lying before? Nothing.

Seriously. That's your "or else" threat? That's the hammer? “@AmbassadorRice: Otherwise, we’ll all conclude Assad is guilty and lying-again"

@AmbassadorRice the use of Twitter as a medium of diplomacy & war is particularly effective. At least, it has been in my life as a blogger

@AmbassadorRice You'll know he's hiding something when he goes on 5 Sunday talk shows and says he has no chemical weapons.

@AmbassadorRice Considering that there are images of an attack all over the web, I'm not sure that Assad is *hiding* anything.
