Chemical Weapons, Obama, Syria

obama-syria

There once was a president who accidentally made a threat, if chemical weapons were used, with force they would be met

Never mind the arbitrariness of his red line, for tens of thousands had already perished, having committed no crime

Never mind the admission that his “limited strike” was no cure, for a devastating conflict, 22 million have had to endure

Never mind the fact that his most trusted allies had desisted, from supporting a military response, that even his own people have resisted

Never mind the veracity of the evidence supporting his case, this president was intent on launching, “Operation Saving Face”.
