[QUOTE="BIG_MIKE2005, post: 2290502, member: 3309"] Yep, Assad is taking full advantage of Obama's weakness. Everyone in the world knows the majority of American people are against getting involved, Congress is divided but leaning more towards voting no when the time comes & other world leaders are starting to dictate their own terms when dealing with us. Assad knows he has Russia backing him & most likely already helping him move things around or bolster his military incase of attack, Iran just waiting for things to pop off & Israel just waiting to respond if it does pop off. What they did effectively do was trick Washington into giving them a month of delay to move assets & prepare. We were ready to strike & it being postponed worked out in their advantage, not ours. Obama & company can keep saying this isn't time sensitive but it is & the fact Kerry directly said they would not settle for any delay tactics means it is very much time sensitive. They were also tricked into giving Assad extra time by Russia acting on Kerry's off hand comment & Syria jumping onboard with Russia. Now the ball is in their court & we have lost leverage. Not to mention the more time that passes the more bad publicity we are receiving as a nation about not only getting involved with strikes but by helping the rebels that we keep saying are not terrorists affiliated but basically ALL other news reports from around the world contradict.
