Bull$hit. The "red line" was the jug-eared moron's attempt at pretending to be a leader, something as foreign to him as honest day of work or telling the truth. This ignorant, self-aggrandizing $hit-for-brains, so enamored with his own brilliance and convinced the world's love for him is equal to his own, provided a "red line" ultimatum because he is, and continues to be, convinced no one would ever cross it. As most sociopaths convinced of their superiority, the fact that the red line WAS crossed must be dismissed or ignored as never happening, as it is impossible for his vile, perverted little mind to process that someone would actually disgree or challenge him.
As a result, thanks to absolutely worthless, enabling, and butt-kissingly sychophantic media scum, the empty suit will be allowed to "move the goalpost", and his inaction will be reported as a brilliantly diplomatic and strategic move to save the dip$hit's "stature" in the world. Meanwhile in reality, the idiot has signaled to every terrorist, rogue organization, and enemy to our country, that the US' word mean absolutely nothing... at least as long as the limp-wristed pansy communist continues to infest the White House.
Its no BS. The Red Line was designed to do one thing only. To drag us into a war in Syria. The Repubs are behind it and the dems too.
They are building the US Military infrastructure right now, in Jordan to run the intervention. They admitted it last week.
The rebels have recieved massive supplies from the Libya we just took over, and from hundreds of millions in “non-lethal” aid directly.
They have a timetable and cannot wait to establish a no fly zone. (the current euphemism for invasion) The NO fly zone begins with air strikes to supress a massive air defense system. The Airfields will need to be hit too.
SOF will need to “secure the Syrian chemicals”. And then we will need a large safety zone with boots on the ground to “protect our technicians as they go about the deadly work of dismantling the chemicals”
Then we will ply the wahabbist Al Qeida loyal rebels with food, medical supplies, vehicles, close air support, etc etc.
After they take over, we will start the nation building game with billions of dollars showing up. Zippy has a plan. Right now, the red line questioning business, is designed to make him look thoughtful, or even reluctant to intervene.
Remember, the press was hammering away at him based on information HE released. He “released” it for a reason. It’s called shaping the battlefield.
