All in Syria

The following is a hypothetical situation made up in the mind of your distinguished but sometime disoriented host. Obama: There will be two days of bombing and that’s it. Reporter: What about ground troops. Obama: Read my lips….no troops on the ground. One week later the Assad government has collapsed and there is chaos throughout the land with various groups running wild and all of the chemical weapons sites are left unguarded and reports are coming in that terrorist are loading up on these weapons. Obama: We must send in ground troops to protect the chemical weapons sites so they don’t fall into the hands of terrorist. Reporter: What about your statement concerning troops on the ground. Obama: Things have changed and a good manager is willing to change where new information presents itself. So if you are wondering why assurances from The President are not soothing fears but raising doubt, be advised that circumstances change and this is especially true in war. The day we bomb we are as they say in poker, all in.
