28. Obama said exactly the same thing that Kerry and Biden said.

Actually, we are probably stuck here because Obama drew a red line and now his credibility forces him to do something, even if they all know it is a bad idea. If you think Biden and Kerry's speeches were not vetted by the WH, you are certainly wrong.

So, wake up. Stop saying nonsense you have read somewhere..

Sorry if I lack patience with you, but there are serious issues on the table and it seems they got stuck in their own internal rhetoric saying there was a red line, but not ready to act accordingly.

What Obama is proposing wont accomplish anything (and I am not proposing that we send troops there, this would be absolutely stupid).
