Don't look at me, Kids

Red line? Not me, I'm just the POTUS, the mere Leader of the Free World. The buck stops anywhere but here;
Mr. Obama also lashed out at critics who said he boxed himself in by saying last year that if Mr. Assad used chemical weapons he would be crossing a "red line" that would prompt U.S. action. "I didn't set a red line," Mr. Obama said. "The world set a red line" when it outlawed the use of chemical weapons, he said.
"My credibility's not on the line. The international community's credibility is on the line, and America and Congress' credibility is on the line because we give lip service to the notion that these international norms are important," Mr. Obama said, referring to international laws against the use of chemical weapons.
Funny, the Brits seem not to agree, now that they have their bust of Churchill back where it belongs.

  1. Obama: "" Our credibility is on the line because we give lip service ""
    not "My serious and necessary threat is being tested".

    There is a good case that Obama's loose threat is being used by the Syrian rebel forces to drag the US into bombing Assad.
