I might have expected this more from The UK Telegraph, not the vastly left leaning Guardian Barack Obama should practise what he preaches about climate change Grand speeches on fighting global warming are meaningless if US keeps blocking EU’s efforts to cut carbon emissions When President Barack Obama gave his long-awaited climate change speech in […]

How’s that working out? (via Ed Morrissey) (UK Independent) Libya has almost entirely stopped producing oil as the government loses control of much of the country to militia fighters. Mutinying security men have taken over oil ports on the Mediterranean and are seeking to sell crude oil on the black market. Ali Zeidan, Libya’s Prime […]

I’m not sure if the word “shameless” is strong enough. SCOAMF might work (CNN) President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the red line he outlined last year regarding Syria’s use of chemical weapons came from international treaties and past congressional action, and now it is time for the international community to make good on its […]

This was just too precious to bury as an extra to the previous post on Syria. Leave it to DWS to go off the reservation (Politico) Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said the U.S. would be bolstered with support from “dozens†of international allies if the United States makes military strikes against Syria.

The NY Times has been doing a Hamlet schtick (to be or not to be), wavering back and forth regarding Syria on the opinion pages from both the Editorial Board and op-ed contributors (remember “Bomb Syria, Even If It’s Illegal“?). Today they find that Mr. Obama did the right thing in sending the whole mess […]

Something a bit humorous from The Telegraph’s Tim Stanley Obama and Syria: Britain has helped Obama rediscover the Constitution. No need to thank us, America This afternoon, President Obama was 35 minutes late to deliver his statement on Syria to the media. Well, he likes to keep his fans waiting. But when he did show […]

After making everyone watch an empty podium for over half an hour (O was probably waiting for halftime) and before hitting the links, PMBP decided to send the Syrian issue over to Congress for a vote President Obama said Saturday that the United States has decided to use military force against Syria, calling last week’s […]

Thanks to Purp at Ace of Spades for the President McBombypants thing (hey, remember when Obama and Democrats derided McCain for bomb bomb bomb Iran, which is well on their way to making nuclear weapons?). Niles Gardner notes that Obama is an embarrassment and an amateur on the international stage, having really built no alliances, […]

Interesting. Polls range from 50% to 80% saying Americans do not want to military strikes on Syria. And 80% want Congressional approval. Yet, Mr. Obama has stated that he’s not going to bother with more than a few meetings and briefings, nothing heavy nor involved, nor is he going to seek a vote, like PM […]
