General Scales: Pentagon embarrassed by Obama!
While this President obviously has no capacity to act in his primary role of Commander-in-Chief, his bold action rhetoric followed by long-term inaction, finger pointing, attempts at consensus building and non-existent strategy over Syria borders on the extremely dangerous and potentially catastrophic!
Not only for our country and our position on the world stage but for the safety of our limited number of our actual friends and quasi allies in the region and around the globe!

Worse, obama's indecision and dithering has directed the Pentagon to change plans and goals more than 50 times, resulting in confusion and lack of confidence that obama knows what he's doing.
So much for clear, concise, cohesive, objectives on Syria :: Political News and commentaries :: Hyscience
The official said the choice the president makes will depend on what he wants included in the target list -- and that seems to shift daily. The regularly fluctuating plans could feed into congressional uncertainty as members prepare to consider a draft resolution next week authorizing military action there.
To say that Barack Obama has had, from the very beginning, no clue whatsoever what he actually expects to accomplish or even what he wanted to accomplish with an attack on Syria is an understatement ... yet he continues to push for an attack as he has had the Pentagon change their prepared plans (plans he requested) ... '50' times. Although planning for multiple scenarios and strategies is necessary and normal, what is not normal is lacking a clear, concise, idea on what you want to accomplish and having cohesive objectives is not. But the latter is what we're stuck with because we have a president that thinks and acts only in terms of politics and his own image, and be damned with what happens to the image of the nation before the world stage ... especially in the eyes of our enemies
