‘AMATEUR HOUR’:Krauthammer slams Obama’s sudden decision to delay Syria strike

[NYcarbineer]

Krauthammer has only one ME point of view: War, non stop and never ending.
Anything that interfers with perpetual war puts him into a snit.

What makes Krauthammer's support for the Iraq disaster particularly egregious is that, ironically,

he is a man smart enough to have known better.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Wasn't Krauthammer also advocating that Obama just act unilaterally?

No.

Charles Krauthammer has been calling obama a fool since obama's idiot statement a year ago. Krauthammer said this was going to happen the day obama exhibited his stupidity for the world to see.

A few days ago you were saying Obama should be impeached if he acted without going to Congress.

Today you're attacking Obama because he's going to Congress.

Your derangement is showing. Zip up.

Pretty funny considering how they were demanding that Obama get Congressional approval just a few days ago.

Like we couldn't see this coming ten miles away. First they swear that if he doesn't get Congressional approval he will be impeached. Then when he does the right thing and looks for Congressional approval, they all say he is weak. What a bunch of putzes.

If he had just kept his mouth shut about "red line", if he had thought about what he said, if he had not acted like a loud-mouth bully, none of these would be an issue.

Who was demanding that?
Obama certainly has the authority to act and was all set to do it. Now that the British and virtually the rest of the world have backed off any action he needs some kind of cover desperately.
He is a weak incompetent man way over his head. He should be getting bill Clinton coffee.

Coffee.........and



a Cigar.

What's that Congressman's name? The one from Texas? The one born in Canada? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I believe he was going on about getting Congressional Approval, wasn't he?

I didnt realize Sen Cruz represented all of Republicans. Or all of the right wing. Or all conservatives. Or whatever else you have in mind.
Note that the calls for approval came from Democrats as well.

Very profound statement from Dr. Krauthammer. Yes, Obama should have gone to Congress much earlier especially before making statements that come back to bite him as a weak, feckless, big mouth. No matter what Congress votes, the world still views Obama as inept and weak.

Um...Congress was on vacation, my friend.

Pay attention----he should have asked Congress FIRST. If he had, none of these comments would be appropriate. His delay and final capitulation opened him up for ridicule.

Pay Attention. Congress was on vacation.

But it IS cute to watch the Right flounder around about this now.

Fun showing you up for the ignorant little partisan hack you are.

 

[FA_Q2]

funny how conservatives need to wait until the president takes a position on something , before they can take the opposing view

Bullshit. Most here hold the same view as before. Only the hyper partisans act like that; a trait that BOTH sides have. Ignore or ridicule but DO NOT paint an entire political party/side with that brush.

Do that and we have space here for you
Don’t and then we have another RDean and you will find out what that means soon enough

Welcome to the boards by the way – we are a fun bunch – lol.

What does that have to do with anything. He should have sought approval in the VERY beginning. Back when it became a faint possibility that military action might be an option the president should have sought congressional approval then. Should he need congress, he can make that happen vacation or no. Your cover for him is rather pathetic.

It is GOOD thing that he is bothering with the constitution and actually asking congress for approval. It is a BAD thing that he waits till now, long after it should have been sought. If you are going to set a ‘red line’ don’t you think it should be brought before congress for setting that line?

It is NOT cute what is happening here by either the right or left partisans. This is a war we are talking about.

All of the "red line" debate seems to assume Assad has been proven to have used poison gas on civilians.

Where is the proof?

There's some speculation Saudi Arabia supplied the gas used in the most recent crime:

"As the U.S. considers a response to what it calls a chemical weapon attack by Syria’s Bashar al-Assad regime that killed hundreds of civilians, reliable Middle Eastern sources say they have evidence the culprits actually were the rebel forces trying to take over the government.."

"On Aug. 23, LiveLeak.com hosted an audio recording of a phone call broadcast on Syrian TV between a terrorist affiliated with the rebel civilian militia “Shuhada al-Bayada Battalion” in Homs, Syria, and his Saudi Arabian boss, identified as “Abulbasit.” The phone call indicates rebel-affiliated terrorists in Syria, not the Assad government, launched the chemical weapons attack in Deir Ballba in the Homs, Syria, countryside.

"The terrorist said his group, which comprises 200 terrorists escaped from al-Bayadah to al-Daar al-Kabera through a tunnel, needed to buy weapons to attack Homs.

"The Saudi financier, who was in Cairo, asked the Syrian terrorists to give details about his group and how it will receive the money. The Saudi admitted his support to terrorists in Daraa and the Damascus countryside. The Syrian terrorist told him that one of the achievements of his 'battalion' was the use of chemical weapons in Deir Ballba.

"The recorded phone call disclosed the cooperation between two terrorist groups in Syria to bring two bottles of Sarin Gas from the Barzeh neighborhood in Damascus.

Evidence: Syria gas attack work of U.S. allies

well if you go back to may

you find news reports that the rebels had their hands on sarin gas

Turkish security forces found a 2kg cylinder with sarin gas after searching the homes of Syrian militants from the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Nusra Front who were previously detained, Turkish media reports. The gas was reportedly going to be used in a bomb.

The sarin gas was found in the homes of suspected Syrian Islamists detained in the southern provinces of Adana and Mersia following a search by Turkish police on Wednesday, reports say. The gas was allegedly going to be used to carry out an attack in the southern Turkish city of Adana.

On Monday, Turkish special anti-terror forces arrested 12 suspected members of the Al-Nusra Front, the Al-Qaeda affiliated group which has been dubbed “the most aggressive and successful arm” of the Syrian rebels. The group was designated a terrorist organization by the United States in December.

Thanks for your answer. This quote below is what lead me to believe that he thinks that Obama should strike unilaterally, of course like many disingenuous talking heads ne later backtracks this statement:
"“[T]he most astonishing thing is the lack of any urgency,” said The Washington Post columnist, the Daily Caller first reported. “As you say, Congress will be back in a week. He says, ‘I can strike in a day or a week or a month,’ as if he is a judge handing down a sentence and the execution can be any time in the future. There is a war going on. Do you think everybody is going to hold their breath, hold their arms, step aside until Obama decides when he wants to go to Congress?"

I assure you I am judging Barack Obama by the content of his character and not by the color of his skin. He has no way to distinguish between what should and should not be said.

The cops acted stupidly, if I had a son he'd look like Trayvon, I can pull the trigger any time I want........he's a liar and a creep. Takes absolutely no responsibility for his actions, his character is flawed. Yet his sheep come to his defense over and over and over again.

No class, nothing achieved without the color of his skin. Twisting and turning everything to suit his agenda. The worst part of it all, he's not a bit embarrassed.

 

[Katzndogz]

obama is a racist who wants to kill Assad because he is so light skinned.
