Obama found an out. He painted himself into a corner with his line in the sand, but now he knows the repercussions of military actions will spin out of control. Democrats in congress didn’t want to go anywhere near voting to support his intervention as it would demoralize their base for the ‘14 midterms, but they didn’t want to undermine him either.

So Obama will save face by allowing congress to “persuade” him to not to intervene militarily, following the Cameron precedent...and we end up just sending humanitarian aid through the UN. A nice tidy escape.

The president has the military on "wag the dog standby"...

Our military has positioned assets in the region. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs has informed me that we are prepared to strike whenever we choose. Moreover, the chairman has indicated to me that our capacity to execute this mission is not time-sensitive; it will be effective tomorrow, or next week, or one month from now. And I’m prepared to give that order.

He is doing this because within the next few weeks we will see markets collapse...he knows the artificial money pumping has come to an end world wide...bad things are brewing on the horizon...
