First, let me start by denouncing myself [a pre-emptive strike, if you will] for the thoughts I will be expounding below: Raaaaacist!
Our juvenile General-In-Chief, King Barack The Unready, like the bullying little shit he is, is denying he ever drew a red line…
From CNS News, Susan Jones reporting [tip of the fedora to GeoffB]:
A year ago, President Barack Obama used the phrase “red line” twice, to make the point that Syria’s use of chemical weapons “would change my calculations significantly” on intervening in the civil war.
But on Wednesday in Sweden — echoing comments made by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday — Obama told reporters, “First of all, I didn’t set a red line. The world set a red line. The world set a red line when governments representing 98 percent of the world’s population said the use of chemical weapons are abhorrent and passed a treaty forbidding their use even when countries are engaged in war.
“Congress set a red line when it ratified that treaty,” and when it passed the Syria Accountability Act, Obama added.
“And so when I said in a press conference (last year), that my calculus about what’s happening in Syria would be altered by the use of chemical weapons, which the overwhelming consensus of humanity says is wrong, um — that wasn’t something I just kind of made up. I didn’t pluck it out of thin air. There’s a reason for it.”
Shorter Little Barry: ‘U-uh, I never said it. I never did. You’re all lying liar faces with cooties!’
[WARNING: Here comes the raaaaacist! part] Isn’t it about time we redlined Obama???
UPDATE at 2141…
Smitty takes the redline to an artistic level here.
A highlight [sung to the tune Roxanne by The Police]:
Baraaaaack, man
You don’t have to put up the red line
The election’s over
You don’t have to sell malarky left & right
Haw.
Red red line you make me feel so fine
You keep me golfing all of the time
