Rogers: Iran and North Korea Are Watching Obama’s Red Line on Syria By Patrick Brennan April 28, 2013

On ABC’s This Week, Representative Mike Rogers argued that the president’s presentation of a “red line” on Syria’s use of chemical weapons — which Rogers and other congressmen argue has been confirmed this week — has put him in a serious bind, because “more than just Syria, Iran is paying attention to this, North Korea is paying attention to this. The options aren’t huge, but some action needs to be taken.”

“It can’t be a dotted line; it can’t be anything other than a red line,” Rogers said.

******

Obama will take action for sure. He’ll plan his next vacation and go golfing. There never was a red line and Iran knows the only line Obama has is the yellow one running down his weak spine.

Obama sucks, and the mullahs and Kims know it. At best Hussein will call in a drone strike from the 4th tee and kill an innocent family..

I thought “red lining” was considered to be racist and declared illegal by the courts? /sarc

Let me get this straight. You think we should go to war in Syria?

This is a “Line of Death”, cross it, and you die.

Ok you cross this line, you die.

Cross this line, you die.

This line, you die.

Alright, that’s it, you come knocking on my door, I’m not coming out, Nyaah!

Uh- no. No troops. No UN. No advisors. No money for Jihadis. No secret arms transfers from Libya.

And mostly, Obama should take his 'red line' and choke on it.

You know, the reported 70,000 civilians killed, if true, is a tragedy...

On the other hand, if history has shown us anything, it’s that arabs and muslims (especially muslim arabs) love slaughtering each other if there are no perceived invaders or Jews to kill.

Better to let them keep on slaughtering each other, rather than to get dragged into it, which will only redirect their rage against us.

Negative.
Obummer chose Syria as the object of his false bravado and is now having to deal with it.

There is no good side. Let filth “A” kill filth “B” and vice versa.
