Obama would rather cut back on his steady diet of Kobe beef in the WH than go to war over any issue at any place on the globe.
He is, in effect, “Mr. Peace”, “Mr. Peace Prize”, “Mr. Cool Celebrity”, “Mr. All people should come together Kumbaya” President.
He cannot afford to tarnish his well polished image by getting into a shooting war now.
Our adversaries all over the planet know this and that is why US Power Projection is now “Soft Power” or in reality Paper Tiger Power.
This is why our diplomats can be murdered at will, our power bases in the Middle East being reduced everyday and our respect in the world now standing at zero.
I am not advocating intentionally getting into another war but war is coming and we are about as prepared for it as we were on December 6th 1941.
War will come because a nuclear armed Iran wills it and we are in a reactive state only.
Well, we will see what hapens in the next few weeks.
