How do YOU KNOW that the President is about to make a huge mistake?

Does that not imply many things, or perhaps a combination of things?

1. You have information about Syria that Obama does not have.
2. Perhaps you are just smarter than Obama
3. perhaps you care about some things that Obama does not

But it'll be lost because to answer honestly will be an admission that their argument boils down to "My opinion is just as valid as President Obama's facts" ... a position that was once abhorent on DU and among liberals.
