Here is what president Obama had to say about possible use of American forces in Syria while responding to a question yesterday during his trip to Latin America:
“I do not foresee a scenario in which boots on the ground in Syria — American boots on the ground in Syria — would be good for America but would also be good for Syria.” …
“In terms of any additional steps we take, it’s going to be based number one on the facts on the ground, number two what’s in the interest of the American people and our national security. As president of the United States, I am going to make those decisions based on the best evidence and after careful consultation. Because when we rush into things, when we leap before we look, then not only do we pay a price, but we often also see unintended consequences on the ground. It’s important for us to do it right and that’s exactly what we’re doing right now.”
Does anyone really understand what Obama said? I doubt it. Does he really mean that he would not take an action that would be good for America if it were not good for Syria? I hope not. And since what were doing no is exactly nothing, does Obama mean that doing nothing is the right thing? I doubt it.
Obama needs a speech on a teleprompter before he makes sense. He is very good at delivering words that someone else wrote for him. In this case, though, I doubt that anyone could have made sense of this nonsense.
