President Obama's masterful job on Syria

"The bets will give an indication of the relative strengths of each hand." Data, The Measure of a Man, Star Trek: The Next Generation

Would it be comforting to live in the Right-Wing Fart Bubble? From Faux News to every Right-Wing on-line idiot the theme on President Obama's handling of Syria is the same;

"President Obama just led us into a humilating defeat." "This humilates the US."

Of course, I know that what's at work is a conscious effort from right-wingers by the use of their unending pouting, phony outrage, chest-beating, wailing and hair-tearing to leave negative associations in the American Collective Unconscious with the Obama Presidency. For all their insanity, the use of Sympathetic Magic and brainwashing on their conservative dupes and weary liberal opponents is fantastic.

But, subterfuge appears equally lost upon lefties in regards to Syria. Diplomacy has many facets. It's almost as if everyone is living in the literal world.

Now, understandably everyone assumes the United States was going to bomb Syria because for the last 12 years the Deciders and the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Media-Complex accepted nothing less than the constant application and projection of US Military Might across the globe.

The Game of Houses is difficult but, it shouldn't be difficult to understand that we did not bomb Syria. We haven't.

What President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry accomplished they did with Words. Just words. They took a situation in which 100,000 had died and 2 million people had been displaced and turned into refugees from 2 years of constant warfare while the World kind of ignored it and they brought it forefront to the World Stage.

And by going to Congress, President Obama brought it to the forefront of every American's mind.

All it took was words. At this point what have we lost? Nothing! We've had a two weeks worth of debating and recognition that something must be done about Syria and Assad.

And to go even further, by involving Russia, which in 2005 purchased 80% of Syria's National Debt, we allowed them to save face and get world stage credit for Diplomacy. Additionally, since the bulk of Syria's Oil goes to the European Union Market we didn't intrude and and blunder about like the Blinded Cyclops of the Odyssey, as the US increasingly came to be seen under the misadministration of the Bush/Cheney Regime.

Now, it's very possible that President Obama wanted to use military force in Syria and the circumstances are working against him but, unless the person wants to produce some evidence they're claiming to be mind readers.

President Obama just showed every American what skillful World Diplomacy looks like.
