I agree with your assessment. This is happening now to head fake the press and public from paying attention to the existing scandals in DC. This is Billie Clinton bombing the aspirin factory to take the spotlight off of the Lewinsky affair all over again. I also think that’s why he’s going to Africa and dragging his whole family and half of the administration entourage with him. To get out of town to avoid the spotlight.
Obama is not a leader. He’s a community agitator and speech giver. He doesn’t get out in front of these issues or bad news. He dodges, obfuscates, avoids and finally is dragged kicking and screaming into decisions made by Valerie Jarrett.
This Syrian debacle is a joke. He waits and waffles and moves his red line again and again while 92,000+ Syrian people are murdered. On one side we have this murderous dictator thug and Russia and on the other side we have rebels who are now aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda terrorist organizations. America doesn’t have a dog in this hunt. But Obama thinks we do because he’s on the terrorists’ side. And now to avoid stepping in any soft cow pie puddles he offers the rebels small arms. I’m sure Assad and the Russians are quaking in their boots. We should stay out of this and let these two violent groups destroy each other without committing American resources.
Again, this is is just a small gesture of too little too late that Obama is using as a distraction from his own problems at home. He’s dipping his toe into the water at the shallow end while at the same time trying to convince us he’s in the deep end swimming.
The question is that if Obama is a puppet, who is the ‘hand’?
