Here is something I think you can be assured of.

We want Assad out; we have threatened and drew a red line, etc. Assad has used gas, etc on its own children.

We will now stand shoulder to shoulder with Assad.

The President said we cannot return to a "Assad type" regime. Already he is playing the word game.

What has it been...2 or 3 years since we drew that line, let him cross it, said he had to go.

Obama is good at this...he will wiggle and squirm and hope those words don't get remembered, but I vividly recall the mocking tones of his press sect regarding Assad and the 60 nation coalition.
