Pushkov: In his striving toward war in Syria, Obama will become a clone of George Bush.Реакция мирового сообщества на события в Сирии. Август 2013 года (113)It had been reported earlier that, to resolve the Syrian issue, the Armed Forces of the USA might stage military operations in that country if President Barack Obama so orders.

Moscow, 25 Aug -- RIA News. In his striving toward war in Syria, US President Obama is repeating the actions of his predecessor George Bush, who went to war in Iraq, and he will therefore become the latter's clone, says Alexey Pushkov, Chief of the Duma's International Affairs Committee.

And the site linked below http://www.vz.ru/news/2013/8/25/647050.html
says Pushkov recently tweeted:
"Obama is pushing relentlessly to war in Syria, just as Bush went to war in Iraq. As in Iraq, this war will not be legitimate and Obama will become a Bush clone."
The same site says Iran warned that it will not accept Washington's warnings on the use of force to manage the conflict in Syria and warned the US not to cross a "red line."


My translation of relevant snippets ends here.
The good news, if any, is that the Russians so far have not threatened to retaliate. However, the site linked just above quotes Syrian Information Minister Az-Zawbi as saying that a US strike against Syria will not be without a response and adds that the Middle East will be engulfed in flames.
A Turkish site reports that the US strike is expected by no later than Thursday.
