The damage to foreign policy can be irreversible. Do you understand the whole "empty suit" thing now?
Our leaders are looking like squawking chickens. The whole world must be laughing at Obama and his empty threats......"this time he really really means it!"
Obama has no clue nor his staff on how to conduct foreign affairs. The one person who had a clue was Hillary and he apparently refused to listen to her. His style of appeasement is more in vogue with him and his staff than a confrontational attitude. The world perceives Obama as weak and thus the US as weak.
Obama has done nothing to reverse that trend and the end result is a dictator in Russia who believes he has a free hand in eastern Europe.
Obama is more interested in reshaping the US to his vision than in matters outside the US.
FOr your comment to be true, you would have to have a definition of "nothing" that consisted only of military force. And that is ludicrous.
Umm no... If he had no intention of acting, he should have never made a threat. It makes America look weak, and makes him the lying phony that we all know he is.

What do you expect. THey are all from the world of academia, with no real world experience in anything. That's why the role out of the healthcare website was a disaster. They couldn't fix it on their own, so they cried to the private sector and a Verizon executive to come bail them out. A truly disgusting, vile administration that is merely a reflection of the weak, naïve people that voted him into office.

You say "No" to my post but then say he has not acted, Which is untrue. So again, you must be defining it as military action.
If you are not then please simply take the time to define what you see as action, and show where President Obama promised he would do that.
Doing so would be the easiest way to both move the conversation forward and prove your point.
So the OP thinks Obama should have invaded Syria because he said there was a line?
What Obama should have done was lay out clear cut consequences and then followed up with those consequences once the red line was crossed. You know that. All reasonable thinking adults know that. Don't try to make this into a "war mongering conservatives" argument.
