Obama Failed to Stop Nerve Gas Attack? He Knew It Was Coming?

If this is true, how can this incompetent president continue to led the nation and the free world. He sat on his hands, while 1000 people were killed with nerve gas? A US president did that!?! He should be told to resign by his party and the Media.

We've seen him abandon a US Ambassador and others to their fate in Benghazi, while he left for the evening DURING the attack! We still have not been told by the White House where he went or what he did while a US Ambassador was missing in action and a US consulate was under Al Qaeda attack.

The US economy is in shambles as we enter the fifth year of Obamanomics recession. It's time for the Left to admit that Obama is a horrible president and has to be told to step down or be impeached.

 

Wait...so now you WANT Obama to have attacked Syria without the authorization of Congress?

Just curious, would you have asked Reagan to step down and resign when he stood by and did nothing while Iraq was gassing the Kurds?

 

Did he call congress, Q?

 

Reagan couldn't do anything... we were supplying Iraq with Intel and equipment at that point.

 

I think he's going to stall an attack until a damaging Benghazi witness' testimony is televised at a hearing this fall.

 

How much notice did he have? You can't get Congress to do anything with less than 48 hours warning.

 

So you think that the President should have attacked Syria without consulting with Congress?

 

I can see why they only charge $2.99 a month for this worthless dreck.

 

Rebels are crafty. We know that some of the military defected to the rebel side so it only makes sense that they would leave a few behind to operate as sleeper agents. Some mid or high level officer stays behind and sees a good oppurtunity to get the world against Assad. He tells his unit they have orders to launch a strike and being good soldiers they do as their officer tells them. Assad gets the blame and the rebels get the help. I guarantee this is what happened. The fact that the Ministry of Defense was upset about it is pretty much icing on the cake. There is no way in hell Assad is that stupid.

 

He's briefed daily and I'm sure he got a phone call right away about a WMD attack. He could have called the Speaker and Sen Majority leader to tell them that it was an imminent attack and that he was going to take action. He apparently did nothing.

Why do you only appear to defend this loser of a president?

Jeff, we are already discussing this point in the thread. Read it.

 

Why would you say that. Do you believe it to be true or not?

 

Simple question- yes or no- do you think the President should have attacked Syria without consulting Congress.

 

I think he should have called the Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader, when he found out that Syria was planning on launching nerve gas.

 

Because, I am not sure if it is true or not. I suspect that it is. Obama has a track record of being incompetent.

 

And that would have accomplished- what?

Only Congress can declare war- but that wouldn't be a declaration of war.
That phone call wouldn't satisfy the War Powers Act.

Seems to me that calling the Speaker and Senate Majority Leader would have only delayed the very action that you object to Obama not taking.

So let me ask you another question- do you think the United States should intervene in Syria to protect Syrian lives?

 

I wanted to click like for your post but it says I've used that button too much in 24 hours.

 

they can't make up their minds, obviously they will attack Obama no mater what he does...

 

you think it will take that long for congress to give a thumbs up or down to war?

 

Do you hope it is true? Because it sure seems like you have decided to go with it. Hence the thread.

Saying something about someone without facts......and then adding a question mark at the end......is a form of dishonesty. It is a bush league message board tactic.

Why do it? What motivated you to start this thread?

 

Obama already broke the war powers act. I believe the WPA is unconstitutional. Reagan and Clinton also violated it. I still think he should have made the call and told them what was about to happen. You'll notice that I never said that Obama should have asked congress to return to Washington DC. A phone call would have taken a hour and he may have gained the support of the two congressional leaders.

Personally, no I don't. And, I certainly wouldn't be helping Islamists and Al Qaeda in the Middle East as Obama has. That said, Syria's WMD programs are a threat to Israel and US national interests, and I would have suggested that the IDF destroy the WMD's with US support. That's what we pay Israel for. They are the West's buffer state. Obama managed to severely damage that relationship with his foolish foreign policy. I would not have foolishly drawn a line in the sand regarding Syria like Obama did. Clearly, I'm more clever than President Red Line. But, most people with common sense are.

But, I'm not the president and this crisis isn't of my making. I am pointing out the incompetence and lack of character of Obama, and if you want to talk about the WPA, the rank hypocrisy of the Democrat party leadership. If the Democrat party and leadership had a hint of principles, they would have tried to impeach Obama for violating their beloved WPA. They did nothing.

Joe stands by this comment. He doesn't not make it lightly. He teaches this stuff.

This is why the Democrat leadership are nothing but ideological whores and not men and women of prinicple.


Now, Jeff, I have two questions for you. Will you continue to support and defend Obama, if he knew the nerve gas attack was about to happen and failed to stop it?

Will you continue to support the Democrat party that allowed the WPA to be violated by a Democrat president once and maybe even twice?

 

Obama painted himself into a corner. You only have him to blame for that. If this is true, you are going to give Obama a pass? Why? Because he's a progressive?

 

No, I don't. But, after Benghazi, I fear we have a dangerously inept Commander in Chief.

No, it's acknowledging that the facts aren't all yet know, but if the media report is true, then we have a horrible incompetent president at the helm.



Frankly, the horrific economy, the failure of Obama foreign policy, and the Benghazi debacle is already proof of this.

I've noticed that you haven't commented on the subject of the OP.

So, I have a question for you. Do you think Obama should resign, if he let those people be nerve gassed and did nothing? Do you think Obama should be impeached for violating the War Powers Act by attacking Libya? How about if he violates it twice?

 

Your slip is showing.

Obviously you wish to blame the Administration (for whatever reason), and have already done so in your own mind as a means of assigning fault to degrade others opinions. However, you begin from a faulty premise.
By expecting someone to know the future, let alone act upon what "Might" happen, while dismissing large swaths of reality and obvious consequence resulting from assumed actions based on anything other than confirmed and agreed upon events....you require this individual to act as an idiot on the world stage. Had the President eliminated the threat of this event before it occurred based on a hunch, it is likely you would be amongst the first to claim he acted without authority (Same with Benghazi), against our constitution, should be impeached, tarred an feathered, stoned and placed naked in the town square.

When the issue here is understood in context, there was literally nothing we could have done to prevent it, unless we decided to go to war unprovoked....again.

 

I believe, a few questions have been given to the Obama supporters. Let's see, if they have the stones to answer them.

 

Foreign Policy is no the sober policy wonk digest that it was in the days of George Kennan.

It's a blog.

And it is heavily influenced by Neo Cons.

All the Neo Cons want a war in Syria. They've clamored for any excuse to start a war (or a proxy war) with Iran for years now.
