(Reuters) - Syria hailed an "historic American retreat" on Sunday, mockingly accusing President Barack Obama of hesitation and confusion after he delayed a military strike to consult Congress.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said tests showed Damascus had used using deadly sarin gas in a chemical weapons attack, and expressed confidence that Congress would do "what is right" in deciding on a response.
With Obama drawing back from the brink on Saturday, France said it could not act alone in punishing President Bashar al-Assad for the August 21 attack, making it the last remaining top Western ally to hesitate about bombing Syria.
Assad said Syria was capable of confronting any external attack, but left the most withering comments to his official media and a junior minister.There are consequences to our actions and people need remove their heads from their rectums when they step into the voting booth. When you elect an amateur punk community organizer to the highest office in the land, you can utterly destroy the credibility of the formerly most powerful nation on the face of the earth in a mere four and a half years. This is exactly where we are at in the greatest country God gave man.
"Obama announced yesterday, directly or through implication, the beginning of the historic American retreat," Syria's official al-Thawra newspaper said in a front-page editorial.
Barack Obama isn't worthy of the presidency of this great country. Barack Obama is a community organizer. His MO is to complain bitterly about the way things are in this country and abroad without understanding that he's not a rabble-rousing punk standing on a corner shouting anymore -- he's the leader of the free world. As president, your words mean things. Your actions mean things as well as does your dithering and lack of action. When the defacto president of the free world proves he's a conflicted namby-pamby fool, it destroys our credibility on the world stage and makes us all less safe. God help us get through these next three and a half years!
