Why Is Obama Waiting?

Members of Obama's own party are questioning his hesitancy of making massive air strikes to destroy the most notorious terror group of the 21st century ISIS or ISIL as President Obama refers to them.  Yes, the President is allowing limited air strikes in Iraq.  But, members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have said that ISIS cannot be destroyed without going after ISIS in Syria.  That presents several problems.  Do we take the chance that President al-Assad of Syria will resist American military action in his country? 

Syria: To Bomb or Not to Bomb

There are several things I have noticed about this entire debate on military strike(s) on Syria's President Assad  for alleged gas attacks on his own people.  The first thing I noticed is the lack of outrage by the anti-war Left such as Code Pink and, of course, the Hollywood elitists such as Alec Baldwin, Roseanne Barr and others of that ilk.  They do not seemingly realize how hypocritical they are by not condemning a war with Syria (and that is definitely on the Obama agenda list).  Nothing the Left does surprises me any longer.  They have largely remained silent with all the NSA spying domestically on John Q. Public.  They have stood on the sidelines on Benghazi, Fast&Furious, snooping into AP employees phone records to name just three.

Obama vs Putin

It appears that Russian president Putin and King Obama are not seeing eye to eye on the Syrian situation.  CBS news reported that both men would barely look at each other after their private talks.  They both later met with the Press Corp.  Judging from the way they sat facing away from each other, it was not a couple of happy campers.  Obama is wanting Russian cooperation with Syria.  Russia is helping Syria with warships, tanks and "military advisers."  It was also reported that the Russian President gave Obama a "lecture" about other situations around the world with which he and Obama are in deep disagreement.  It wasn't that long ago that Obama conveyed to a Putin subordinate that he would appreciate if the Russian President would wait until after the election when he (Obama) would have more "flexibility" to deal with matters of mutual concern.  Apparently, President Putin decided he would throw his weight around the amateurish U.S. President.

The thing that caught my eye was President Putin "lecturing" a U.S. President.  I can't remember the last time that happened.  Yes, I'm sure it has.  But, taking into consideration this is the President who makes unprecedented "bows" to foreign leaders, nothing should surprise me about this U.S. President.  Obama is viewed as a weak President.  Well, except by the legion of doom aka as Obama Zombies.  Obama is weak about everything except helping illegal aliens, forcing legislation down the throats of Americans and spending trillions of dollars we don't have.  I hate the idea of having Obama facing down the likes of Putin.  There is no doubt in my mind Obama will cave in to Putin when push comes to shove.
