"He Seems Unable To Make Difficult Decisions"

From Philly.com
If President Obama ever does get around to targeting Syria, with congressional approval, it will be the strangest U.S. military strike in recent memory.
The administration has made a convincing case that the Syrian regime gassed 1,400 of its own people to death last month, including 426 children. And yes, the use of poison gas violates longstanding international norms.
Yet Obama can't seem to make up his mind if he wants to punish Syria for using chemical weapons or not.
On Saturday, he made a strong case for using military action to deter anyone from deploying these terrible weapons again. He said he'd decided to strike Syria, then - in the very same speech - said he was postponing the mission until he gets authorization from Congress, which won't return until Sept. 9....
The administration's litany of limitations already had Syrian opposition leaders comparing a possible strike to "Operation Desert Fox," the Clinton administration's much derided four-day bombing campaign in 1998 that aimed to degrade Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.
After Saturday's speech, this latter-day Desert Fox is looking more like Operation Desert Farce.
Obama's public dithering is confusing both his allies and his foes. "He seems unable to make difficult decisions," says Hisham Melhem, the veteran Washington bureau chief of Al Arabiya news channel. "This will embolden Assad and the opposition jihadis and demoralize the secular, moderate Syrian opposition. Obama is gambling with his reputation at home and abroad."
Now that Obama that he will attack, after consulting, he just telegraphed the Syrians on his plans.  Considering all the leaks from the White House, the Syrians will know when and where they will be hit and prepare for that.
Nothing like amateur hour in the White House.
Can we please have a grown up take charge of the White House?
