President Obama floated a more modest strategy today, saying that any U.S. action in Syria would have “no objective whatsoever.”

“Let me be clear,” he said in an interview on CNN. “Our goal will not be to effect régime change, or alter the balance of power in Syria, or bring the civil war there to an end. We will simply do something random there for one or two days and then leave.”

“I want to reassure our allies and the people of Syria that what we are about to undertake, if we undertake it at all, will have no purpose or goal,” he said. “This is consistent with U.S. foreign policy of the past.”

So, why waste the cruise missiles? Since there is no end game, why even do it? Obama, as in his whole political career, has to have it both ways. Just look how many times he v**ed "present" when he was a Senator, he didn't want to piss off either side - plus, he wanted to put himself above the fray. Just like he is leading (did say leading? OMG, what a slip that was!) today, he takes responsibility for nothing, stays on the sidelines (I mean golf course) and lets some one else take the hit - just like Kerry will take the hit on Syria if it goes south. Obama is phonier than a three dollar bill, not to mention a gutless coward.
