“Can we please stop caring whether Obama “looks weak”?” Weird question. Never did.

Lion on ‘Under the Dome': “the elites who write the scripts for television shows are so unaware about religion in small towns that they think it’s more realistic that people would go to a fight club than go to a church. The portrayal of the town’s only reverend fits in with the elite’s view of religions leaders as either schemers who use religion to further their own greedy ambitions as the expense of gullible proles, or crazy people.” Correct as far as it goes, but this analysis glosses over the fact that ‘Under the Dome’ is just in general one of the most terribly-written TV shows in history.
Everything you need to know about Syria’s chemical weapons. Somehow I just thought this was a well-constructed, non-splashy, balanced, informative piece. I wonder if this is what journalism would be like if we had good journalists?
Summarizing what appears to be an argument for a limited Syria intervention we get this: “it is clearly in America’s interest to minimize the chance of al-Qaida getting its hands on Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile”. I guess, but that sounds like an argument for helping the Assad government rout its rebels and restore order as quickly as possible.

I never cared about whether Obama’s feelings would be hurt if he thought he looked weak, but I can agree that it’s a terrible idea for international relations for him to do so. I just think the solution is for him to quit making transparent bluffs, not for us to follow through on something he never should have said and is busy claiming he didn’t really say anyway.
By the way, it’s terrible thing for the nation when Obama looks dishonest, too.
