US ready for Syria military strike if talks fail: Obama
AFP News ^ | September 14, 2013

Posted on 09/14/2013 4:47:22 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

President Barack Obama said on Saturday he was willing to give a chance to diplomacy to help resolve the Syrian crisis, but warned the military option was still on the table.

"Since this plan emerged only with a credible threat of US military action, we will maintain our military posture in the region to keep the pressure on the Assad regime," Obama said in his weekly address.

Assad isn’t concerned about the U.S. presence.

Its no doubt been an Obama debacle and is now a strategic disaster. The end result is that it will now be extremely difficult to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Let Obama ride the first missile fired to insure it hits the intended target. This buffonish child must have had his ass kicked on the playground everyday.

Barry’s trying to find his balls now that he’s had time to think about the humiliation recently heaped on him.

He won’t be happy until he totally screws things up beyond repair.

I feel 0 and his minions back pockets are probably being stuffed by military contractors if they can kickstart this war. 0 needs to remeber never start a war unless you know forr sure that the odds are vastly in your favor. We’re not even close. In fact it looks like our grandkids might be having to learn foreign languages if he keeps it up. I wish theywould just settle it by letting Putin and The Messiah go at it in the ring for 3 rounds. We all know who would be screaming like a sissy and let his “gay” show

Zer0 has been laughed at and humiliated on the world stage.
That makes him a very dangerous man. An affront to his self-esteem.

We see in the NEWS every day the consequences of ‘disrespecting ‘ some of these types.

If anything drives him to act this will.

No the US is not ready.
The people have spoken, no the people have shouted out. NO Attacking Syria.
But Obama never lets the will of the people interfere with his personal desires..

Talks will predictably fail and we will be at the brink again. 0bama and his Saudi masters want this war. War is the classic way to consolidate power and quiet opposition at home. But this time, even if state run media continues to support him by suppressing and spinning news, the people will not believe it. Look for some real repression by the proto-dictator.

And don't call my bluff again.
This time I really mean it.
So don't try anything.
I'm not kidding.
Really!

Barry delegated enforcing his “pink line” to Kerry and Biden. Meanwhile Putin and Assad are finishing their pipeline deal with Iran. Game, set, match.

My foreign policy advice to the “failed won”: Next time you draw a red line, don’t use lipstick.
