Extricating the President
By Allan Gerson
Posted on UPI.COM on September 10, 2013
After all the convulsing it comes down to this: whether to extricate President Obama from his own folly in dealing with Syria.
The President is in a predicament of his own creation. Had he enforced the red-line he drew, had he authorized some small military strike, whatever turmoil might have followed from Congress or others would have been short-lived. Now the entire international spotlight rests on him. And the stakes are enormously higher, because if he does now what he might have easily done before - just a shot across the bow - we will be seen as toothless. And, if Congress fails to authorize action, paralyzing the President, U.S. national security will indeed suffer as our red-lines will become meaningless, leaving us to be perceived as a paper tiger or a faint-hearted "humanitarian", or both.

The winds of change that swept through the Middle East are nearing, of all places, Iran. As the Presidential Elections get underway on Friday, there is evidence the strength of the nation's theocracy is weakening. Late last month the unelected watchdog Guardian Council disqualified the two-time former president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's protégé, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei.
