Obama himself owns that. And what he should also own up to is that it was a mistake. He is unwilling, if chemical weapons were indeed used by the government, to actually do anything that would protect anyone from anything. Instead, he gives his "shot across the bow" that is pure symbolism. It would be gross incompetence. Any right-wingers that are against this, are right.
