“. . . warning Syrian President Bashar Assad that he would be held personally responsible for military action Hizballah may pursue in Beirut . . . “

What’s he going to do. Make him wear a dunce cap? Obama has no credibility as being willing to buck a muslim. Why should they take him seriously on this one?

When it comes to foreign policy and military action, any ultimatum from Obama will always fall on deaf ears.

Crikey! This means there’s a sternly worded letter with Assad’s name on it in Barky’s desk drawer.

If — if — it’s true, it means one of two things:

(1) Either Assad is a member of a different Muslim sect than Obama.
(2) The note was kind of like the one Wilson sent the Kaiser after the sinking of the Lusitania. It commended the Kaiser on his restraint.

We shall see.

I’m sure that Assad is enjoying a good laugh over any message Obozo may have sent

there would be consequences for the Syrian ruler's standing in Washington and that of his country.

Yeah, the _resident will only bow half as low next time and Assad will have to sit next to Hillary at the next state dinner. He might even have to leave via the back door past the trash.

Oooohh! I bet that has assad trembling in his burqa—NOT! Obama hussein is the laughingstock of the world and certainly no threat to muslims anywhere.

This does not make sense. Obama is courting the Syrian leader, why would he issue an ultimatum? It’s pretty clear that Syria, Hizbollah and Iran will eventually stage a coup in Lebanon. Either it will be by force or via sham Democratic elections. In any event any threat made by Obama will be chuckled at in Axis of Evil circles, heck, even we here in the States do not believe this news story, it’s just not consistent with a policy of Appeasement that Obama has been building steadily.
