‘AMATEUR HOUR’: Krauthammer slams Obama’s sudden decision to delay Syria strike [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | August 31,2012 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 08/31/2013 1:15:58 PM PDT by Hojczyk

“[T]he most astonishing thing is the lack of any urgency,” Krauthammer said. “As you say, Congress will be back in a week. He says, ‘I can strike in a day or a week or a month,’ as if he is a judge handing down a sentence and the execution can be any time in the future. There is a war going on. Do you think everybody is going to hold their breath, hold their arms, step aside until Obama decides when he wants to go to Congress?

“But the idea that you make the case, you leak the details, you tell the world that this has to be done and then you say, ‘Well, I will take my time. I’ll go to Congress and we’ll see,’” Krauthammer said. “This should be done in three days. It isn’t as if people are not aware of the arguments. You should go out there, bring them in [and] have it done by the end of the week. And the world, I think, will have higher respect. But this looks as if you are a cynic, meaning if you are sitting Syria, Iran, Moscow, it looks like a president who boxed himself into a corner and is looking for a way out.”

Krauthammer’s first allegiance may be to Israel.

Your orig. statement: “I sure am glad Krauthammer isn’t sitting anywhere near the levers of power.”

That makes it sound as though you believe that Krauthammer might have some real sway & influence if he was “near the levers of power”. You’re the one who brought him up.
I’d rather see a Ronald Reagan leading us.

Krauthammer is wrong. It’s been amateur 5 years.

"This is the epitome of voting "Present"

And, that is exactly what the Repubs should do.

"Did you know he actually did go golfing again today, at 3 p.m.?"

Why am I not surprised?

He is a bumbling fool who is going to get US into a war that Americans and the Military cannot stand behind.

War with Syria will be unpopular (!) and I can't wait to see B. Hussein O.'s ratings - would be nice if the number is negative.

It’s looking like the Islamists will have to gas their own people again.

"...himself having no executive, military, intelligence, law enforcement, foreign affairs, business, staff, experience or training; he now has a staff, and acts as the nations chief executive for federal law enforcement, intelligence, foreign affairs, and defense matters as well has having a direct economic impact through regulatory agencies, energy, and fiscal policies."

He's the Community Organizer for the whole world.

I agree. He seems naively to think that this fandango has something to do with punishing Syria for using WMD. That's rubbish.
