This video clip linked below from Obama's press conference yesterday is what makes him a great President, which is his unwillingness to commit our blood and treasure to a conflict without a sane and forceful ally on the ground. Syria, unlike Iraq, has no well developed political entity with a motivated militia, like the Kurds, that we can work with on the ground to police and govern after the initial assault and conquest. Looking over Secretary of State John Kerry's video clip of last August where he drew the line in the sand that Assad crossed, one can observe all the emotional reasons that draw us to act and makes Obama's restraint all the more great and faithful to our Constitution.
