The above words apparently are unknown to our President, but in all fairness he has no practical experience in doing much of anything except politicking and speech making.
No matter where you stand on this Syrian business it should bother you greatly that this Administration is making a joke of the United States. The Syrians are gloating. This has been going on for days and days and still no decision; a lot of talking and changing direction, but no decision
The British called parliament back for a vote, got it and moved on. Our President takes one step forward and two backward now deciding after the game has begun he needs Congress to play … but he is apparently willing to wait until Congress meanders back to Washington after the summer break to get any action.
This so-called decision making is an embarrassment. We must be the laughing stock of the rest of the world, especially those who want nothing better than our defeat at anything. I’m listening to commentators say the decision to go to Congress was prudent, was consistent with Obama’s position to honor the Constitution (LOL). Even if that is true, why didn’t he follow this approach from the beginning? Why didn’t he seek a consensus from Congress before he drew his red line? He can draw a line for action, but then needs help doing anything? Is this not an urgent matter worth calling Congress back to Washington today?
This man wouldn’t last a month working in the real world; analysis paralysis.
He doesn’t have to go to Congress to act one way or the other, what he really wants is political cover so no matter the decision made, he can’t be held responsible. This is a national security issue that needs to be dealt with one way or the other. On the other hand, representatives like Charles Rangel say they see no connection between what’s going on in Syria and the United States. What the heck, who cares? Genocide by any other name.
Secretary Kerry made a strong case that they had proof, they were certain of what happened, etc. and yet waiting until vacations are over on September 9th is not a problem.
Decisions, indecision, rhetoric, politics …. disgusting!

Sorry. Over one hundred thousand dead, millions dead in other African and European atrocities, … What’s so different this time?. Did we attack Iraq after the Kurds were gassed? Assad’s killed tens of thousands with bullets and bombs and now, because he uses other means ( and there is no 100 percent certain proof it was assad’s military that attacked in this way – at least not yet) .. So, we are now to be outraged? We are now to attack – and the goal is? Success will be defined as?

Good points, but there is one difference, no excuse of course, but all that was before 9-11-2001 and now we fear the use by any number of groups who care of the consequences far less than any government leader. Not that there is any well thought out objective from the Administration, but what’s new in that?

Not sure how hitting targets other than chemical weapons depot will resolve anything, could lead Assad to spread out his arsenal, and expose it … Perhaps losing what little control he has. As someone once said, I am not so afraid of te government with many such WMD weapons, but more concerned about the crazy zealot who had one such weapon.

BO can’t lead, can’t make decisions without someone to blame on the bad results and can’t speak without a telepromptor, spends a fortune of out tax money on flying around on Air force One. The only thing he is good at is placing blame on someone else. How useless!!!!!
