Here’s one major reason the Syria debate is so dispiriting:
We’ve got a president few appear able to trust. Nobody in this, the
fifth year of the Obama era, can assume Barack Obama necessarily
means a word he says.
He may; he may not. We just can’t tell any more. Not after five years of maneuvers and speeches whose chief inspiration seems to be the accruing of personal credit and the shifting of blame to those who resist his magisterial gifts.
The president has become, in material ways — as when he asks for difficult or dangerous things — his own worst enemy.
