    When a red line isn't a red line, why issue a red line?? There was no need, except political expediency, to draw a red line in the first place. And now, yet again, Obama is communicating weakness.

    Obama's red line looks more faded every day:
    Does anybody else find it suspicious that Assad would tell the world "we are so sure of our innocence, we beg you to come investiage for yourselves" and then when the investigators are on their way, they are denied access? Doesn't it sound like the game we played with Hussein for many, many years?

    When Great Britain is the most credible participant in an international confrontation......then everyone is lying.
