Shame on the President and John Kerry [View all]

for not recognizing that thanks to the egregious misrepresentations (read:lies) of the previous administration, the burden of proof for any military action was going to be much, much higher. You almost get the feeling that they STILL don't understand how egregious those misrepresentations (read: lies) were.

I've disagreed with the President quite a bit, but I had always thought he was a good politician. The handling of this whole Syria mess has me questioning even that.
