Obama the Origami Tiger
Prime Minister David Cameron lost a preliminary vote in Parliament late Thursday on intervention in Syria....
This followed the rejection in the UN Security Council of a resolution authorizing the use of force in Syria....
The United States is no longer pursuing a United Nations or NATO stamp of approval....
Neither has Obama secured the consent of Congress for his planned operation....
Whichever way it goes, Obama’s plan for a “limited but decisive” attack on Assad is probably over....
The bigger question is whether Obama himself is now over....
The most disturbing aspect of the Syria episode was that it wasn’t Boehner’s token resistance but the cumulative refusal of other sovereigns to go along that derailed the plan. Washington left to its own devices would have failed; it would have walked off the cliff.
