Beginning with Vietnam America's resolve has progressively lessen. So the last thing we needed is a president who is doing on the job training concerning our foreign policy. The president believed he could avoid the issue by drawing reference to a red line, one he never imagined would occur.
So then he prolonged it further by demanding proof which eventually came but he still maintained was definitely verifiable. IMHO who else would gain by using chemical weapons but Assad. He and Kerry both began saber rattling and then got cold feet again and decided to wait until Congress reconvened. meanwhile his Admin leaked more information to the enemy than snowden.
By the way prior to the invasion of Iraq a story appeared in the WSJ wherein they describe where Iraqi Republican Guard relieved Syrian guards at the order then departed. Did Iraq move its WMD to Syria before the invasion?
does anyone believe with so much information out there that Syria won't e well prepared and well protected
Our allies doubt our resolve and know now that they cannot rely on us.
We do have an interest in the outcome of Syria. But before we move we better be sure what we intend to do and make it effective and we better have the resolve to see it through.
