Decisions by an Indecisive Man

Once again, the world finds us the laughing stock, as our president waffles in a decision to take care of business in Syria and help stop the genocide of the Syrian people by the current regime.

In just one day he says he has made a decision and shortly thereafter decides that he has not made a decision, but has rather made another decision to place that decision on the Congress of the US, so they can make the decision for him, so that he can then make the ultimate decision. Then if it doesn't work out just as planned, he can point fingers like a child and say "They made me do it."

I think most Americans would agree that using chemical warfare agents against ones own people is enough evidence to send in missiles to neutralize the potential of there being any repeat performances. Yet here we are, waiting days and perhaps weeks, while hundreds and thousands die because Mr. Obama can't make a decision. If I thought I was disappointed in this president before, it was nothing considering my disappointment with him now.

Imagine if there was a crisis in our own country of this nature. Obama would wait for positive tests and check with local leaders and go through all sorts of gyrations and never make a decision here either/ Because that's the kind of president he has been, one who sets tasks before others to do the dirty work and when they come up short, closes his eyes and knows nothing. Like Fast and Furious and a few other nasty screw ups that he and Mr. Holder blew off. Nixon had nothing on this guy at all. He's cut from a whole new cloth.

God forbid we are ever attacked by a foreign power. Our president will take eons to ponder what the right thing to do as our country is reduced to a nuclear waste pile. He isn't a man of action as long as we all have Obamacare. Oh wait, that's not working out very well right now, is it? What a sad commentary on what was once the most powerful and well respected country in the world.

Let me finish with this. I am against war. Been there and done that and it's not pretty. But you need to stop people who would gas innocent women and children in the name of political righteousness. I never want to see another boots on ground war, but some surgical precision strikes to destroy their stockpiles of weapons would be fine. Of course, with the weeks of advance notice, the word in the press is that it has all been moved to avoid destruction. Let's hope our intelligence gathering is smarter than our leader.
