"US’ traditional ally Great Britain ruled itself out of any military strikes against the Assad regime"

Why should they trust Obama's administration?

US Secretary of State John Kerry called France America’s “oldest ally”

About the only truthful thing he said.

Didn't we once (truthfully) say:

“Going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without an accordion.”

I still agree.

Team Obama needs someone to take the lead, so Obama can lead from behind.

Isn’t this eerily starting to resemble a remake of Libya/Gadaffi? IIRC, the French took the lead on that because Obama wouldn’t.

So we launch a limited unwarranted response and France surrenders. Great plan.

There could hardly be a greater admission of international impotence.

While literally true, Mother England is the nation from which these United States sprang and whose language, laws, traditions, virtues and (to a large extent) bloodlines we call our own.

As our Declaration of Independence states, ‘’When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another...’’

When the British Parliament voted against joining Obama in his Syrian adventure, Britain declared its independence from America, and it will likely be as better off for doing so as America was after 1776 when it declared its independence from Britain.

RE: Strike Syria where it will hurt: the air bases

Entanglements concerning the “red line” reveal a pervasive misunderstanding of war and diplomacy as irreconcilable alternatives. For this Administration military action would be a bewildering, tragic, accidental consequence of hideous attacks enabled by their failed diplomacy.

To manage this contentious environment, Obama brought his newly minted Nobel Peace Prize. He and the nominating committee considered Basher al-Assad received a crushing blow as Obama lead Western leaders in saying he must go to benefit the Syrian people. Clearly, al-Assad should have realized the brilliance of Western conflict resolution and entertained peaceful dialogue.

However, al-Assad shares the perception of Greg Lewis in American Thinker, who portrayed Obama as a beta male. The alpha male dog approaches directly, while the beta male displays acquiescent gestures signaling submission. Lewis saw submissiveness in bowing to King Abdullah, sending John Kerry to Syria, and in generally ridiculing the U.S. whenever Obama appeared on an international stage.

When al-Assad’s actions beleaguered the feebleness he trampled in rising to power, liberal statesmen became befuddled by the intricacies and chicaneries of this unorthodox diplomacy. Al-Assad saw this confusion and ongoing debates narrowing national interests. He then asked why abandon strategies proven against behaviors disregarded in my rise to dominion?

Effective diplomacy would have been methodical, overt/covert, multi-faceted, and predictably lethal. Talks, conferences and economic measures would have been war without bloodshed invigorated by intelligence, propaganda, and espionage. Military action could then exact grievous forfeitures from ruling elites through the planned consequences of inattention to international isolation and internal dissention.

Did We Elect a Beta Male As President?
