....ever seen that one cartoon.....?

The one where one character dares another to "cross this line". So, when the line's crossed, another dare is laid down: "Ok....now I dare you to cross THIS line".....on and on, the line's redrawn, and crossed until the darer, ever backing up, backs up over a cliff....

Very funny stuff in cartoons; somewhat more pathetic when it's our President and his administration...

And that is EXACTLY what is now going to happen with Syria.

Since Liberals have no memory, here's Obama's hawkish (snicker) words:

“We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus. That would change my equation. . . . We’re monitoring that situation very carefully. We have put together a range of contingency plans.”

Well, John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, the two gutless wonders in charge of keeping America secure (bang up job so far, boys...), have BOTH stated that Syria has, in fact, recently used chemical weapons....you know....those things they USED to call "weapons of mass destruction".

So, what will Obama's response be?

Who knows.....hard to keep track of him right now, as he's very busy redrawing lines and backing up....

Oh....and to his "we have put together a range of contingency plans" statement...these will consist of:

- Draw more lines
- Back up
- Insert thumb

PS- one of your administration officials, after your feckless speech, commented on the power of deterrence.....hint: deterrence ONLY works when you actually DO what you say.

If I may quote Sarah Silverman in "School of Rock"...

"Oh my GOD......he's an IDIOT!"

Hirota: out.
