I don’t think the administration has handled the Syrian situation well in recent days, but I’m glad Barack Obama is our president. He still seems to be the only adult in the room, and if he takes a hit for waffling or not being completely consistent, I’m willing to back him up for not compounding his mistakes. I think his critics should try to spend a week in his shoes and then they can talk.
I haven’t seen one person, including myself, give him any advice that wouldn’t expose him to legitimate second-guessing. There are no good options for Syria. There just aren’t.
