Assad, Putin, and the smart move that Obama must make
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/04/15 | Barry Shaw

From warfare to lawfare

The words used to describe Obama in countries in the Middle East plus Ukraine include “unreliable”, “skittish”, “weak in negotiations” and “feeble in foreign policy.”

Best evidence that these words have real meaning can be seen in the “words not action” policy of the Obama Administration when it comes to Syria.

On August 20, 2012, Obama said, “We have been very clear to the Assad regime but also to other players that a red line for us is seeing a whole lot of chemical weapons being moved around or utilized. That would change my calculus.”

We don’t even have diplomatic relations with Syria. We closed their Embassy in DC in June 2014.

Obama has zero credibility anywhere in the world and especially now in Syria. the danger we need to look out for is that he might try something further to phuque up Syria even more than he’s already achieved

(the Russians won’t tolerate it any more, for one thing...)

That was a day after she cackled, “We came, we saw, he died,” and then handed her cellphone to her Huma to watch the slow killing of Kadhafi by rabble in Libya.
