Obama said in a New Republic magazine interview that he's struggling to decide about intervention in Syria where Syrian President Assad has slaughtered tens of thousands of his own people for nearly the last 2 years in a desperate attempt to maintain his power.
Both Secretary of State Clinton and Obama had earlier made a big issue about Assad using any of the chemical weapons stockpiled in his country, calling it a "red line" that if crossed would prompt an immediate and swift response by the US to remove Assad.
So much for the big threat against Syria used by the pair to placate the Israelis who also planned to attack Syria over the chemical weapons issue.
In December Assad used chemical weapons to attack opposition forces in the city of Homs and both Hillary and Barack know it happened from intelligence reports.
And the swift retaliation from the US for Assad violating Obama's "red line" ? Well, Obama's still struggling with that one.
"And how do I weigh tens of thousands who've been killed in Syria versus the tens of thousands who are currently being killed in the Congo?" he said.
Here's a rather straightforward clue for you Barack -
THEY DON'T HAVE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN THE CONGO THAT THREATEN THE REST OF THE WORLD !!!
Obama, you bear the largest share of responsibility for this mess and the few options remaining with your half-assed "lead from behind" and "sometimes they're going to go sideways" foreign policy.
You set the stage and directed the players and now you're whining about what to do about it as it all unravels throughout the entire mid east and northern Africa.
The Israelis tired of the broken Obama promises concerning their security and existence have promised that if the WMD's fall into the hands of terrorists, Israel will attack.
And unlike our White House those guys do have both the resolve and the balls!
