In the former Yugoslavia, evidence of genocide was everywhere and was publicized pretty openly.
In this case, not so much.
Was there an attack using gas? Yes. After that, there's a little bit of work to do to prove this was perpetrated by the person(s) the President is determined to attack. And yellow cake is absolutely a pertinent allegory. Whether or not the president at that time lied about yellow cake is moot - the point is that there was no evidence to back up the claim and the claim was used to justify desired action.... just like there is no evidence yet to conclusively prove the source of this attack in Syria.
As he's done several times before, this President has demonstrated his willingness to believe lies (the Brown firing and the Acorn defunding are the two most known ones) and then act impulsively on them in self-destructive and humiliating ways - and all done to get along with the cool kids that he so desperately seeks to be validated by: the republicans.
Of course, I expect a small piece of circumstantial evidence to be found, but the UN investigation is still ongoing and the president has already concluded that a strike is required or else our nation's credibility is at stake. This sounds very much like a man on a mission - facts and evidence be damned.... just like bush's mission.
