"The use of chemical weapons is and would be totally unacceptable," Obama said Dec. 3, directing his comments at Assad. "If you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons, there will be consequences and you will be held accountable." That same day, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton added: "we are certainly planning to take action if that eventuality were to occur."

Outside analysts worry that the administration's red line may have shifted again.

"Given the fact you have that in a cable, this indicates that the Obama administration may not simply jump into the conflict because chemical agents are used," said Andrew Tabler, senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "Assad has a much better idea now of what he can do and get away with."

Disarm law abiding US citizens with executive orders, but let Assad use WMDs and Iran continue with their nuclear ambitions.

Gusty calls.

Makes you wonder if Obama is evil enough to use chemical weapons on US citizens. His buddy Ayers has no problem with re-education camps and genocide for those that can’t be re-educated. Bill Ayers made those statements when it seemed impossible to have a Marist president with control of our WMDs.

“If you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons, there will be consequences and you will be held accountable.”

TRANSLATION: You have been chosen to be our sacrificial sheep.

” That same day, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton added: “we are certainly planning to take action if that eventuality were to occur.”

TRANSLATION: Precedent has been established so that we can use it anywhere we deem necessary. We like using poison gas. It preserves the resources while eliminating the ‘public’ nuisance.
