I fully admit I am a terrible chess player. I chafe at the strictures of the movements of men and I struggle anticipating movements beyond the next two or possibly three. I have a tendency to imagine more moves for myself than really are possible and it invariably gets me in trouble. Therefore, I might play a friendly game with my kid on a rainy day but I will decline playing a match against my husband under almost all circumstances. It's no fun if the end result is pre-ordained.

It's an inept analogy, but one that I see writ large with the Syria situation. I see people like our Sunday show big guest John Kerry (and Sunday show regular John McCain, come to that) pushing for an attack in Syria, but his history and rhetoric make me wonder if he really can see beyond the immediate move and anticipate what his opponent's response will be. Do they see what the move will be three moves from now? Do they see a path to victory and how exactly do they define that? I can't see the moves on the board. Every move I anticipate results in a loss.

But then again, I've already admitted I'm a terrible chess player. So I want to hear exactly how many moves Kerry & Co. are anticipating before I can get behind supporting an attack on Syria.
