Here's a headline from CBS News:
"Obama will not micromanage Syria strikes, Hagel says"
Defense Secretary Hagel denied that president Obama will have to sign off on each strike in Syria in advance. Of course, having Obama sign off was never my concern about the supposed strikes. The main concern is whether or not these strikes will actually happen and what the parameters for the strikes will be. In other words, is this a real policy? Given that Obama announced the strikes with great fanfare in a nationally televised speech from the White House, one would normally think that my question is silly. But remember; this is Barack Obama, the man of 1000 lies. In the two weeks since the speech, there has not been so much as a single strike on ISIS in Syria. That failure to strike has come even as ISIS forces are advancing on both Kurdish Syrian forces near Turkey and the Syrian National Council forces near Aleppo. Those are the "vetted" rebel forces that America is supposedly helping in Syria to combat ISIS. So why are there no strikes yet?
I hope we do not hear later that Obama is waiting until the Syrian rebel forces have undergone a year of training first. Without help, in one year there will no longer be any Syrian moderate forces left. Everyone knows that.
