2016, already? Joking. Shame on everyone. There are people dead and dying in Syria, but, hey makes for great politics in the USA, the world's only Superpower.

Positions on military action (click here) and going to war are critical during presidential primaries and general elections. Where potential 2016 candidates stand on intervention in Syria now could very well come up on the campaign trail in Iowa and New Hampshire.
These moments have a way of coming back to haunt presidential candidates and they will be made to answer for their positions just as then Sen. Barack Obama's opposition to the war in Iraq helped him in his primary against Hillary Clinton.
If you're in the opposition party, standing apart from the administration is key. Here's where possible 2016ers stand on Syria..

Of course as soon as the saintly USA enters the scene the dying ends. Right.
