What Red Line?
During a press conference on August 20 President Obama said, “a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized.”
Yesterday in Stockholm, he said, “I didn’t set a red line. The world set a red line.”
He didn’t build that red line. Somebody else made that happen.
Obama continued, “Keep in mind, I’m somebody who opposed the war in Iraq, and I’m not interested in repeating mistakes about basing decisions on faulty intelligence”.
Secretary of State John Kerry says he has proof that Assad gassed his own people, but then Colin Powell had proof of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. For good measure Kerry also insists that Syrian rebels are moderate .
Shirtless Putin says, “Kerry lies“.
Assad is accused of murdering a few hundred of his own. Ann Coulter notes that Saddam Hussein killed 50,000 plus with chemical weapons, leading up to the war Obama opposed. Bush’s invasion of Iraq so frightened Gadhafi that he gave up his weapons of mass destruction and turned in A Q Kahn, the ringleader of a world wide nuclear weapons black market.
Maureen Dowd, on the other hand, blames Bush.
Our Future Red Line Allies
Meanwhile it seems the Syrian rebels are busying themselves by executing men on their knees, and attacking a Christian village while they await our intervention in the war on Assad.
Press Conference
The president seemed to hold all the cards Wednesday for his first press conference in 8 months. Greg Gutfeld says Obama’s outrage over criticism of Susan Rice’s explanation of the Benghazi attack was greater than his outrage over the actual Benghazi attack.
The Night They Tore the Lampposts Down
A ten year old boy was raped and students rioted…because coach Paterno was fired. In a show of balance, they held a candlelight vigil for the victims on Friday. Nothing was burned down.
As I type this I’m watching the Nebraska and Penn State teams gather in prayer before the start of Saturday’s game.
I thought this column by the Washington Post’s Tom Boswell was best.
Issue 2 Dead in Ohio
Voters in Ohio supported public employee unions by voting “no” on issue 2 (a referendum on anti-union senate bill 5) by a 2 to 1 margin. It was a ringing endorsement of cops and firefighters. Teachers, not so much. More than half the school levies in the state failed.
The Don Rickles Administration
The Heckler in Chief has gone from insulting the Supreme Court and Paul Ryan, to all the Republicans in Congress. Here’s Obama. And here’s Biden.
Update: Here’s a Michelle Malkin column about Biden’s thuggish behavior toward journalists in this case and others.
