What credibility are you talking about?

In any case, stripping out the political and economic conspiracies that people love to point out whenever they have a chance (because they 'still believe' it's all true... a bit like people believe they can get pregnant after engaging in oral sex or Santa Clause) this is first and foremost a HUMANITARIAN cause and that should be dealt with by an international body.

Now what Russia and China are doing is disgraceful. Germany is not part of the Security Council but using Syria in their election campaigns is equally disgraceful. And the fact that the European f*ckin' Union has no common position on this and other than some under-equipped special intervention troops have no one to intervene anyway is equally disgraceful. Then we have NATO which exists for what reason again??? International Policy has become more of a mess than ever.

Having said that - the fact that Obama doesn't seem to back down now that the British Parliament has ruled out an intervention is just great. Kudos to him, it's the right thing to do.
