History Will Be The Judge
For me, he is already the worst President since FDR, who presumably surpassed President Wilson and President Teddy Roosevelt. He is the greatest flip-flopper known to this generation.
President Obama To Assad In 2011: Step Aside
In mid August 2011 President
Obama declared in a statement
(emphasis added):
“The future of Syria must be
determined by its people, but President Bashar al-Assad is standing in their way. His calls for dialogue and reform
have rung hollow while he is
imprisoning, torturing, and slaughtering his own people, …We have consistently
said that President Assad must lead a democratic transition or get out of the way. … For the sake of
the Syrian people, the time has come for
President Assad to step aside."
His then Secretary of State apparently
echoed this as well.
Abyss Syria
The President of the USA, the leader of the free world, did not draw a red line or did he?
The President of the USA is unwilling or incapable of deciding by himself whether to use military force in response to the heinous crimes against humanity by a bloody dictator. Thanks to international conventions to which a majority of countries or significant of world powers agreed to following the horrible poisonous gas attacks during World War I, the use of chemical weapons was until recently very infrequent and its use has been widely condemned since WW I.
The President of the USA then seeks authorization from the U.S. Congress for the use of military force. This is an act of meekness or calculation with regard to the coming mid-term election.
Then, somebody proposes to disarm the Syrian dictator and murderer of his chemical weapons. How does the POTUS respond? He asks Congress to postpone the authorization to use force. Is this man nuts? I would have continued to seek the authorization nevertheless. To try to disarm a mass murderer of one of his weapons, who even denies he used this weapon, is pointless. This is a red herring or a delaying technique.
Highly unusual, the President of Russia responds with an op-ed in the New York Times. In Putin’s op-ed we read to our surprise that that Putin criticizes President Obama for his use of American exceptionalism in his recent address to the American nation. Putin, you are a little devil! J This is more than ironic! Did not President Obama make strenuously effort to deny any American exceptionalism?
