Democrats, this week, are in full wagon-circling mode, fearing that this Syria disaster might make Obama (and them) look REALLY stupid.
411 to Dems: too late. WAYYYYYYYY too late.
Since yesterday, they've reverted to their usual revisionism: tell everyone....and keep repeating it....that Obama never drew a "red line".
Here's his statement:
"First of all, I didn't set a red line," said Obama. "The world set a red line. The world set a red line when governments representing 98 percent of the world's population said the use of chemical weapons are [inaudble] and passed a treaty forbidding their use, even when countries are engaged in war. Congress set a red line when it ratified that treaty. Congress set a red line when it indicated that in a piece of legislation entitled the Syria Accountability Act that some of the horrendous things happening on the ground there need to be answered for. So, when I said in a press conference that my calculus about what's happening in Syria would be altered by the use of chemical weapons, which the overwhelming consensus of humanity says is wrong, that wasn't something I just kind of made up. I didn't pluck it out of thin air. There's a reason for it."
Nancy Pelosi had this to offer:
“President Obama didn’t draw a red line; humanity drew a red line decades ago."
Remarkable statements for at least two reasons:
First, not even Jimmy Carter demonstrated this level of cowardice. These people....these Liberals, these Democrats....are gutless, spineless cowards.
It would seem that the only time they will take an unwavering, brave, courageous stand is when there's a chance to butcher the unborn.
But now; now that they are in full view of the world, it's like turning on the bathroom lights and finding cockroaches...
Dumb ol' Chris Matthews even admitted this week that Congress needs to pass a war resolution in order to "save the President's hide".
Second, it's a lie. Obama lied (about "not drawing a red line"). Pelosi lied.
They didn't mislead, they didn't make a mistake; this wasn't a nuanced statement.
It was a lie.
Liberals (Democrats) are in full revisionist mode; lying about this red line.
Here's what Obama ACTUALLY said (about WMD in Syria):
“We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is [if] we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus.”
So, on August 19th, Obama CLEARLY draws a red line. Yesterday, he says he never did.
So, why does he lie? Why does Pelosi lie? Why do ANY of these idiots lie (Republican idiots, too...)?
Because they can. Because Americans are stupid and complacent to call them on it.
Shameful. Obama is an embarrassment. But WE Americans are as embarrassing, because we allow it.
Hirota: out.
