Mr. President, what happened to your "cool" diplomacy?

Obama wants to go to war with Syria? Why? Because they crossed a "red line." And, now we learn that it wasn't "his" red line, it's the international community's red line and Congress' red line. Obama never takes responsibility for any thing including his OWN words in 2012 where he said it was HIS RED LINE.

Whatever happened to Obama's Magical Diplomacy?

What happened to diplomacy? When he ran for prez in 2008, Obama mocked Bush for his "war-mongering" tendencies (even though Bush assembled 50 nations to support his war against Iraq) and said what was needed was diplomacy. Barack Hussein Obama assured us that he could win the respect of the international community. He assured us that he could arrive at a peaceful solution to conflicts rather than resorting to war. Yeah, and how's that working out Mr. President? Thus far, the international community thinks he's a joke and no one wants to join him in his "shot across the bow" to Syria. Obama has LESS respect among the nations of the world than here at home. They have come to realize that he can't be trusted and he is not fit to lead a group of children as a crossing guard across the street much less a war against Syria.

What does a "shot across the bow" mean?

Even if it is just a shot across the bow, when one takes such a shot it is a warning of future action if the warning is not heeded, but in this case WHAT FUTURE ACTION? We don't have a plan for the Middle Syria. The way this "shot across the bow" has been described, it sounds like just another thicker red line, sort of like voting present. And what happens if Syria resorts to chemical weapons again?
East, much less

When Obama addresses the nation on Tuesday evening, most of America will tune him out. He's a summer rerun when the new fall shows are starting. He has exhausted his credibility. He has lied to us on too many occasions. How about "Fast and Furious", Solyndra, ACA honey pot, IRS, Benghazi, NSA? He lied about the cause of death of the 4 Americans in Benghazi and we still don't know what the President was doing from 5pm to 1am on Sept. 11, 2012. And we have a press corps with zero curiosity. No one has pressed him for his minute-by-minute whereabouts on Sept. 11. 

New bumper sticker: "No blood for ego"
Going to war against Syria will NOT restore America's credibility. We have no credibility among our allies or our enemies. America's credibility will NOT be restored until Obama is out of office. And since when do we go to war to protect the reputation and credibility of a foolish president who doesn't really care about what's going on in Syria or the Middle East. The only thing he cares about is his next golf game.
