Victor Davis Hanson, as always, nails it:
Not long ago, Senators Obama and Kerry would have lambasted the present impending intervention as a rush to war for the restoration of a president’s ill-advised forfeiture of credibility.
Fairly or not, the war is now seen as one to save the credibility of Obama’s pontification and Kerry’s sermonizing.
Hanson points out that our top military general, Chairman Dempsey, is dubious about what can be achieved. When was the last time the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was dubious on the eve of an attack?
If our top commander seems dubious, who then is going to lead us unabashedly to victory?
Today Hanson analyzes the Syrian situation from many angles.
It may be his best piece of writing yet.
