It's Tinker Bell's red line! -- President Obama wants you to know he didn't set a red line in Syria --- and his credibility isn't on the line there. Or something like that. TheDC's Neil Munro reports:
"President Barack Obama repeatedly denied Wednesday that he ever set a 'red line' against the use of chemical weapons in Syria, and he insisted that the 'world community' and Congress created the so-called red line, and should enforce the line. 'I didn’t set a red line,' he insisted to reporters at a press conference in Sweden Wednesday morning. 'The world set a red line when governments representing 98 percent of the world’s population said the use of chemical weapons are abhorrent and passed a [1993] treaty forbidding their use even when countries are engaged in war,' he said. ...'My credibility is not on the line,' he insisted. 'The international community’s credibility is on the line, and America and Congress’ credibility is on the line, because we give [only] lip service to the notion that these international norms are important,' he said."
Oh, the international community's credibility is on the line. The international community is a real thing in the same way a unicorn is a real thing. And someone should give the president a transcript of his remarks from last year if he doesn't think he set a red line. This is a truly pathetic display of presidential leadership.
The fool-in-chief lies so often that he simply now believes his own lies.
