All the World leaders speak out on refugee crisis, while Obama stays silent. | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 59866150 United States 09/07/2015 11:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to pjmedia.com] While World leaders speak out about the refugee crisis, one World leader is silent...strange, because it is his crisis. He caused this crisis with his failed Syrian policy. Yet he is saying nothing, Democratic Presidential candidate, Martin O'Malley is calling on the United States to take 65,000 refugees, but how can we when we are trying to deal with our own immigration crisis? The US is between a rock and a hard place, while our President is nowhere to be found. LINK>While many foreign leaders have spoken out, there is one who has said not a word. That leader, as you most probably can guess, is Barack Obama. And how could he? His policies, after all, have ended in this tragedy. It is, as Michael Gerson writes in a powerful Washington Post column, the result of his failure in Syria. Obama said a “red line” in Syria could not be crossed; then Bashar Al-Assad crossed it—and nothing happened except for temporarily harsher rhetoric from the president. Now, Assad drops barrel bombs on his own people, filled with supposedly outlawed chemical weapons. Obama, of course, had plenty of measures which he could have ordered that would have stopped or limited Assad’s war on his own people. Instead, he ignored the advice of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and CIA chief Gen. David Petraeus, who favored using screened moderate forces of the Sunni majority willing to fight and supplying them with shoulder-to-air missiles that would have brought down the helicopters Assad uses to carry out the bombings. Instead, he did nothing. |
