Mr Obama drew his verbal red line regarding the use of chemical weapons, and now has used his own decree to paint himself into a corner. And anyone can read Popular Mechanics.
He stated that there would be a price to pay for the use, by Syria, of gas attacks on civilians. Following that, the UK Parliament bowed out and decided not to back PM David Cameron.
The UK Parliament produced a slap in the face to Mr Obama, but he was still going in — until he wasn’t.
On Saturday, he decreed that he was going to seek consensus for an Syrian incursion from Congress.
And the Demorats are not behind Mr Obama on this. Even Putin’s foreign minister exhorts DC to behave like grown-ups — which it is not.
Complicated enough for you? Enough zig-zagging and indecisiveness for you? Obama has no coherent policy for the Middle East. He has stated he “leads from behind” and this underscores that phrase. The UK Guardian is on-board with Obama being an imbecile.
Continuing to prove that Mr Obama is nothing but a SCOAMF — Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure.
Sorry. That video is so good I simply couldn’t resist.

P.S.
I continue with my opinion: stay the hell out of Syria. Let the two sides, both evil by nature, no innocence on either side, slaughter each other.
Former Assistant Secretary of Defense K.T. McFarland once said:
“The cardinal rule in Washington is that if you have two enemies fighting each other, do not try to step in and stop them.”
Truer words were never spoken, particularly applied to today’s situation regarding Syria.
Did YOU do the artwork on that book cover? HOLY COW!
He made a BIG MISTAKE with that line in the sand, and we’re all going to have to be along for his ride now…along with an underfunded, underprotected military..with Iran laughing its *** off. man
Which is why, even on a GOOD day, no one in the Middle East can count on the US when its regime changes every four years and, further, when its regime changes its mind every other day because it has no cohesive mindset regarding policy on any level.
No, I did not do the graphics on the book, but it fits so completely well.

I did do THIS graphic, however:

The “Audacity of Hype.”

Yep, the McFarland quote is on the money… sigh
Is it not? This is when you simply step back and watch the bodies of your enemies floating serenely downstream in front of you, like the scene from the new War of the Worlds.

When can I buy that book?
Can’t buy it.
But you can, as I recommend, buy this book, an excellent actual strategy from a Conservative.
BZ
That book should sell like hotcakes next week, or the week after, or next month, after Syria kicks our ass. The strategic insiders are telling me that Bashar al-Assad isn’t afraid of Obama’s silk purse.
Thanks, Mustang, for visiting, and for taking the time to comment.
Time will tell, won’t it now?

Can you correct your spelling of this post??
Ahem,, incompent,,,,,possibly accidentally misspelled incompetent,,, in your post title.
Also..”a drawing of a line in the sand” took place in March 1835,, in San Antonio, Texas inside the Alamo,, when Captain William Travis of the roughshod recently formed Texas Militia,,,drew his sword,,, and with this sword scratched a line in the soil(sand),,,stating loudly,, “that all who will stay and fight and Defend the Alamo, and the Texas Rebellion,, against Mexico and General Santa Ana’s superior Army,,,,”cross over this line in the sand”.
The defenders did this, except for a black slave, who did not, and who went quickly and hid in a kitchen closet., but later was bayoneted by the Mexican attackers.
