Bush didn't Blink
PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES NEED TO BE ABLE TO STAND UP TO FOREIGN LEADERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE TYRANTS LIKE VLADIMIR PUTIN. THEY DON'T NEED TO BE CRAWLING INTO BED WITH THEM FOR THE SAKE OF EXPECTANCY OR COWARDLINESS. DURING THE RECENT SYRIAN CRISIS OUR PRESIDENT BLINKED IN THE FACE OFA DETERMINED ENEMY. PRESIDENT OBAMA ACTIONS MAY NOT HAVE ANY SHORT TERM EFFECTS ON MOST AMERICANS, BUT AT SOME POINT I FEAR THAT THIS LACK OF COURAGE ON THE PART OF OUR PRESIDENT WILL BE TAKEN AS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS BY SOME FOREIGN LEADER AND LEAD TO A MUCH MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION. JUST LIKE KENNEDY'S INACTION AT THE "BAY OF PIGS" LEAD TO THE "CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS", OBAMA "SYRIAN POLICY" WILL LEAD TO A CONFRONTATION IN THE FUTURE THAT COULD BE APOCALYPTIC. SHOWING WEAKNESS IN THE FACE OF AN ENEMY NEVER HAS A GOOD OUTCOME.
I'd feel better if we HAD a president.
