Barack Obama finds himself in Sweden today, a late change to his G-20 itinerary after deciding to snub Vladimir Putin over Edward Snowden’s asylum. Fittingly, Obama used a joint press conference in Stockholm with the Swedish Prime Minister to massage his own role in the diplomatic debacle over Syria in which Obama now finds himself.
Obama insisted that he didn’t set a “red line” for action over the use of chemical weapons, but that Congress did … and so did everyone else, except Obama, of course:
“My credibility is not on the line — the international community’s credibility is on the line,” President Barack Obama said Wednesday in Sweden regarding his desire for a military strike in response to a suspected August chemical attack in Syria.
By the way, here’s Obama from a year ago setting the red line: (video at link above)
That looks a lot like Obama setting that red line, doesn’t it? “That would change MY calculus — that would change MY equation.” There wasn’t any hint of WE or THEY in that statement.
