Those tasked with executing the strike on Bashar al Assad's regime in Syria were reportedly shocked when U.S. President Barack Obama announced Saturday that he wanted to seek Congressional approval first, according to Chris Lawrence with CNN.
"The tempo went from 'go-go-go' to nothing," an unnamed defense official told CNN. "We were standing multiple watches. Everyone was pretty sure it was going to happen."
With U.S. destroyers and submarines moored off the coast of Syria, battle stations manned, and fingers on the trigger of hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles, Obama reportedly changed his mind Friday evening on executing the strike on his own authority, after a conversation with his chief of staff, Denis McDonough.

Moored?
Stupid reporters trying to sound like they know what they are talking about and failing miserably
Our ships and subs are sitting at a dock near the Syrian coast apparently

The Syrian War: What You’re Not Being Told

Brilliant observation.
There really is no there, there with Obama. People try to use rationality and reason to explain this guy, but they always fall short because there's no explaining a person as irrational and empty as this pointless man.
He's like a hollow planet. There's no core. No center. All you see is a crust which is composed of layers of Marxism, racism, street punk bravado, petulance, envy, arrogance, laziness, ignorance, and a host of other negatives too numerous to mention.
As you said, the man adds up to less than the sum of his apparent parts.
When your intellectual wires and persona are in the hands of other manipulators it would be very difficult to not behave like a robot. Obama had/has that gift of gab that that would put a carni barker wondering.
Not much has changed. It’s always been “hurry up and wait” in the military. Now, you just do the same thing with fags thrown into the mix.
Is The US Going To War With Syria Over A Natural Gas Pipeline?

> What we want is a unified Obama Theory that answers all our questions now and for the future but it is not, nor ever going to be forthcoming.
Obama as shadow-government asset, groomed from childhood to be a puppet President.
Explains all the fake papers, explains the about face from peacenik to mad bomber in the space of time it took to swear him in, explains his faithfulness to the banking cartel, explains how all his political opponents from the very beginning have had secret or sealed information made public, explains why no one knew him at many of the places he claimed to be over his life, explains the creepy mental stuff in his books (abuse is part of his conditioning), and many other aspects of his behavior. Explains the systematic Orwellian acts by controlled/state media to cover for everything he does, including disqualifying characteristics such as him and his wife both having had to surrender their law licenses. Explains how no matter how obvious it is that the guy is dumb as a box of rocks, he’s portrayed as a Constitutional professor (he’s totally ignorant of it, how’d he get that job/title?), a student at an elite institution (Columbia), an intellectual, etc. Name me one clever thing this intellectual has done in all this time.
Also explains why he goes from eloquent and well-spoken to stupid street thug whenever the teleprompter goes on the fritz. The stupid street thug is the real Obama.
It also explains his methods, which are essentially those of a street gang. Knows no laws, brute force and intimidation is always the answer, whether as foreign policy, or in using the IRS against political enemies. He has zero sophistication because his whole life is basically faked up, and in reality he hasn’t done anything other than say what he’s been told to say, and sign what he’s been told to sign. Notice there’s no subtlety in anything he does, not even when faking up a birth certificate. It explains why he’s incapable of the simplest diplomacy, either with other heads of state, or with anyone, including his own party, in Congress.
He’s a tool being used by powerful elites in order to create a one world global government, using the UN as a political vehicle and the US military as a physical vehicle to force it into existence. His role is entirely limited to photo ops and teleprompters; his signature is almost certainly in Jarrett’s handwriting.
How’s that for a unified Obama theory?
Seems to be a common Democrat presidential syndrome.
Bill Clinton was said to have "no center" and the MSM speculated long and hard on the subject before concluding that it was true.
Jesse Jackson, of all people, said it best,
There is nothing this man won't do. He is immune to shame. Move past all the nice posturing and get really down in there in him, you find absolutely nothing . . . nothing but an appetite." Jesse Jackson on Bill Clinton, 1992
I don't know. The more I watch this buffoon, the more I think there's no one pulling the strings on him.
A true world-class puppet master would make him dance like Fred Astaire - not some bumbling, stumbling dope head.
I have no doubt that he's significantly influenced by those who did the most to bring him to power, but so little of what this guy does makes any sense, the puppet master theory just doesn't compute.
Agree with much of your assessment. But there is an internal contradiction in this one paragraph.
Valerie Jarrett is Obama's "controller", we can agree on that. But would Valerie Jarrett be the chosen servant of "powerful elites" intent on creating "a one world global government"? <
I don't think so.
Valerie Jarrett is the chosen servant of a cabal of Chicago commies who have been dependent on Arab (Muslim Brotherhood) cash since the Soviet Union started to decline during the eighties.
And the deal is that the Commies get to call the shots on domestic policy, but the Arab (MB) moneymen own our foreign policy.
What stumps me is why everyone goes along with him? Is Barbara Boxer and dumb Biden part of this one world government? If so, we’re really in trouble.
But I do agree with your theory. I’ve posted before that if a few nukes go off countries will be begging the UN to stop the madness. And there is your one world government.
What did Bill Cosby say? “I brought you into this world. I’ll take you out.” When someone gets out of line because they start to believe they really are as powerful as people are made to think, they won’t last.
Is there anything in the above that would excite an NSA geek?
IMHO all he’s doing is trying to shift the blame to the Repub’s when this thing goes south. If it goes well, which I doubt, then He’ll take the credit.
He said as much when he was campaigning and made his famous ''bitter clingers'' remark. Never in this history of this great nation was a more utterly incompetent, deceitful and malicious man given such power. It's a judgment on us.
What was the date of the chemical weapons and was Obama on VACATION at the time??
Biden definitely is.

Also our last 18 or so Secretaries of State and last 21 or so NSA directors.
I’m sure they have plenty of means to control Boxer as needed.
you nailed it ...
It’s as if Obama is admonishing us to stop looking at the man behind the curtain.
And this man is not a feeble old one like the Wizard of Oz, he’s more like
Satan.
Bill Clinton was said to have “no center” and the MSM speculated long and hard on the subject before concluding that it was true.
Well stated.
And therein lies the problem. Once BC was forgiven for his BJ then anything was explainable .....
No need to think rationally anymore. It’s now about who can give me
something for free, and I can do anything I want without consequence.
