If you’re in the mood for a little levity, this ran in the New Yorker of all places....
“Obama has tried to mollify the antiwar left by promising the Syria strike “would have no objective.” It would just be a couple of days worth of random drive-by shootings without strategic content and therefore moral.”
Can you give a link? That IS an amazing quote.
Holey Moley....is there tape on CNN of Obama uttering this insanity?
The actual quote per the New Yorker:
Begin quote:
” President Obama floated a more modest strategy today, saying that any U.S. action in Syria would have “no objective whatsoever.”
“Let me be clear,” he said in an interview on CNN. “Our goal will not be to effect régime change, or alter the balance of power in Syria, or bring the civil war there to an end. We will simply do something random there for one or two days and then leave.”
“I want to reassure our allies and the people of Syria that what we are about to undertake, if we undertake it at all, will have no purpose or goal,” he said.
—End quote
“It may take twenty-four hours, but it could also take twelve,”
“Maybe we get in there, take a look around, and get out right away. But however long it takes, one thing will not change: this mission will have no point. The President is resolute about that.”
