I dislike Obama as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculous. Ignoring atrocities in countries like Syria was something we used to routinely do. We certainly ignored Saddam’s gassing of the Kurds at Halabja. We also turned a blind eye to Saddam’s chemical weapon attacks on the Iranians during the Iran-Iraq War. Ultimately, countries act not based how they feel about something, but on a balance between interests and costs. Only when interests and costs are firmly on the side of intervention, does morality come into play, as a rallying point for domestic and international public opinion. In the case of Syria, the GOP, and elements of the Sunni-loving Dems, have put morality ahead of national interest and cost, and been slapped down. It wasn’t just Obama who was set back, but the GOP’s unpaid globocop (aka Don Quixote) and the Dem’s Sunni appeasement contingent as well. The public wanted no part of their nonsense, and the pols finally threw in the towel.

This is what happens when you promote someone because he has black skin.

Kerry actually said “Let me make one thing absolutely clear, we MIGHT use military force.” It’s like he spits a few words out then, rather than stopping and rethinking what he was about to say, he just keeps his lips moving hoping that if anything comes out that doesn’t sound right, he can change it during the next phrase. Amateurs.

Everybody seems to be harping on the embarrassment factor for Obama and the US but that is not the main issue.
The main issue is the loss of US power in the Middle East, the befuddling of the few allies we have left and Iran.
Now that the US has lost power, prestige, influence and worst of all credibility and face, what comes next? The Russians are pouring it on, adding a new naval vessel near Syria everyday and Obama is pulling our forces out of the region.
This is not just bad, it is very dangerous because now, nobody can depend on Obama, especially Israel.
After being told to shut up, sit down and be patient since 2008, Israel now seriously questions what Obama promised months ago when he said, “Israel, I've got your back”.
Nobody in Israel (except President Shimon Peres) believes this anymore. This means that Israel will, indeed, have to take on mammoth Iran...alone. Bad timing, bad precedent, bad repercussions.

obozo the Clown President has us second in prestige to Russia AND he has three years left on his contract That's way too long. He is worse than just stupid he is worse than just incompetent; he HATES America and has been given the opportunity through Americas PC culture to destroy her. His presidency will end in unimaginable chaos...for us all.
