This President has shown a unique ability to make the correct foreign policy judgments in the worst possible way.
Barack Obama has had a very embarrassing time of it over Syria — and the trouble stems from a problem I’ve written about before: He continues to make pronouncements that he doesn’t really intend to carry out. His “Mubarak Must Go” was the start — and he got lucky there, since Muburak went, as a result of the Egyptians wanting him to go. He was also lucky with “Gaddafi must go”, achieving the desired result with a maximum of international support and a minimum of U.S. force. “Assad Must Go” hasn’t worked so well, and chemical weapons as a “red line” has been an absolutely disaster for American — read: Obama’s — credibility, compounded by subsequent statements like “a shot across the bow.”

Incorrect. Here, let me correct for spelling and punctuation:

There. Much better. Don't they have copy editors at Time???!?
That is called 'sociopathy' and it must be incredibly painful to be so afflicted.
You know if you think about some limited strike there are 2 options. Kill Assad or don’t target him. If you kill him we likely will see wholesale slaughter of the Alawites. Remove the head,confusion ensues and the people there will be settling scores real or perceived dating back 1000 years.
Theres no after plan to go in and protect civilians. I think a nightmare scenario.
If they shoot and don’t target him them Assad will simply pull down his pants, bend over and moon the White House.
There is no good way to get involved but Obama never once thought of that. He’s never been smart enough.
And as a group they don't seem much concerned about anyone or anything except for their rights. Now that they're serving in the military, I just can't see most of them wanting to go to war.
Bingo. Well said.
It’s a backhand compliment. Klein didn’t have the heart to simply call Obama an idiot.
True, they are gutless when they have to toe the party line. I believe someone called them “useful idiots.”
He has succeeded so far in furthering the creation of the Muslim Caliphate,that’s what he means
“Leading from behind” is all well & good until everyone in front of you disappears ...
Obama has not made a single “correct foreign policy judgment” in his entire life. From Benghazi to Egypt every single decision has been a disaster. The only thing Obama has going for him are MSM agents willing to lie on his behalf.
Joe Klein still talking nonsense? Why doesn’t somebody bury him?
My sister in law, too!
The first thing we should do is drop Joe Klein on Syria.
Obama is several steps down from rodeo clown.

He(and much of official america) are trying to fail to bring down the Great Satan..
Its all in “Rules for Radicals”- Saul Alinsky..
You know the “progressive” handbook and primer..
Its no big secret.. He is trying to make the worst possible judgements on everything ON PURPOSE..
To overwhelm “the System”... and it’s working..
Quite simple really.. BUT sad to say it went right over your head.. Zip bang..
You must be republican, republicans have a problem getting their heads around trying to fail on purpose..
UNLESS; they are complicit in it.. like Bohner and McConnell..
WHOM have FUNDED all Obama has been doing ... ON PURPOSE...
I know it’s easy to call them STUPID.. But.. THEY ARE NOT..
They know exactly what they are doing.. AND NOT DOING!..
Apathy is 100% in the republican camp...
The democrats are NOT apathetic..
Yeah especially since my step brother is a deadbeat and she is a psycho or sociopath and have had their daughter since birth and as irritated as I gat at their lowlife behavior, I,nor my daughters could imagine this 2 1/2 year old that has lived with us since birth not in our home or lives.
With all due respect: I live in an area where rodeos are a big part of the culture. Rodeo clowns are held in very high regard. When I was a kid I was at a rodeo watching a woman do an archery demonstration when an enraged bull broke out of his stall, knocked her down and started to trample her. The clown ran to her aid and distracted the bull (This is their real job). He took one hell of a beating keeping him away from her until several wranglers could rope the bull. He saved her life and could easily have lost his. No way does Obama have the stuff to be a rodeo clown.
Prayer for Peace in Syria
God of Compassion,
Hear the cries of the people of Syria,
Bring healing to those suffering from the violence,
Bring comfort to those mourning the dead,
Strengthen Syria’s neighbors in their care and welcome for refugees,
Convert the hearts of those who have taken up arms,
And protect those committed to peace.
God of Hope,
Inspire leaders to choose peace over violence and to seek reconciliation with enemies,
Inspire the Church around the world with compassion for the people of Syria,
And give us hope for a future of peace built on justice for all.
We ask this through Jesus Christ,
Prince of Peace and Light of the World,
Amen.
Petition: For the people of Syria, that God may strengthen the resolve of leaders to end the fighting and choose a future of peace.
Does Obarky even care or realize how embarrassing this who debacle has been to him? He just goes and shoots another few rounds of golf.
I wish this miserable experiment would end.
Amen
