Syria hailed an "historic American retreat" on Sunday, mockingly accusing President Barack Obama of hesitation and confusion after he delayed a military strike to consult Congress.
"Obama announced yesterday, directly or through implication, the beginning of the historic American retreat," Syria's official al-Thawra newspaper said in a front-page editorial.
Syria's deputy foreign minister Faisal Mekdad accused Obama of indecision. "It is clear there was a sense of hesitation and disappointment in what was said by President Barack Obama yesterday. And it is also clear there was a sense of confusion as well," he told reporters in Damascus.

Assad will have a bumper sticker on his camel “My kid beat up the USA!”
Called out nobama on the kid’s Facebook page.
“What a difference a day makes. Yesterday we were pissed that bammy was going to get us into another middle east war. Today we’re pissed he DIDN’T do it”
I think you’re confused.
I’m just pissed the bastard got elected....TWICE!
Biden is looking like he’s trying to keep himself from laughing.
Yeah, and someone might want to ask Mr. Kerry where Syria got those WMD’s in the first place.
The sarin was made by Saudi Arabia,
transferred by Obama and Huma and McCain,
and has killed a lot of people.
Now they must blame others to complete
their planned destruction of the free.
You’ll get no declaration of war against Syria. That would lead to a civil war in America. Enough’s enough.
The only way Obama’s actions over the past week make sense is if Saudi Arabia, the Syrian rebels’ principal backer, has threatened Obama that it will drastically raise oil prices if Obama does not actively enter the war on the rebels’ side.
When George Bush the First invaded Kuwait, he was honest enough to admit that he did so for the sake of keeping oil prices stable.
Obama can’t publicly admit that he’s going to war on the side of America’s mortal enemy — al-Qaeda terrorists, who have infiltrated the rebels’ forces — for the sake of oil. But he CAN admit that to members of Congress in secret. Which means that Congress MAY support Obama in attacking Bashar al-Assad. Stay tuned.
Obama should be impeached.....Democrat Party...take the lead...or, lose both the House & Senate in the mid-term election of 2014!!! We are coming for your seats!!! And....you are not dealing with Republicans, etc.,.......you are dealing with the people of the United States of America!!!
DEFUND OBAMACARE, AMERICANS!!! NOW!!! (www.dontfundit.com)
Our only sensible course is stay out of there and let the Arabs and Allah deal with it.
We. are just pissed his lip flapping got us in this in the first place.
That makes sense, but some posts give the impression he should have launched an attack instead of backing down.
Remember all those truck convoys heading to Syria out of Iraq before the war there. It is not rocket science.
<—— DU is that way.
