leaves Obama in a truly no win position: he will be humiliated if he backs off now after having escalate the war drums to a frenzy, and will be blasted by all sides of the political spectrum if he proceeds to engage in a widely unpopular military conflict

I'm enjoying this way more than I should.

So much for a coalition of the willing.

Don’t enjoy it too much. Regardless of what happens, the media will have no problem spinning it to make zero look good. Even if they can’t, expect a heavy volume of phrases like “in a rare misstep, ...” If, as I expect, he does nothing, there will be countless comparisons to GWB (”unlike GWB, who led us into a pointless war based on a mistake, Obama showed the wisdom of a true leader ...”).

At this point, my chief worry is that by alienating everyone, the potential for any action getting out of control is increasing by the minute. I still don’t think Obama will do anything, but if he does, China and Russia are not only going to go ballistic, they will also be encouraged by the fact that Obama has completely bungled this so far, and has no support anywhere, domestic or abroad.

Having never worked in a real job, the Amateur never learned that you have to pick your battles to fight. This one clearly wasn’t worth fighting.

Now he’s painted himself into a corner for all the world to see.

who is going to blast O from the political spectrum? Nobody, that’s who. How many anti-war rants does anyone hear now? anti-war movies being made? Zero. anti-war protests? zero. Anti-war songs? Zero. The Left is going to shut its mouth because its got its foot inside it and the right has no guts to say anything. Political blowback? That’s a laugh!
