Obama Gives Up on Syria. Again:

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE UPDATE: Obama Gives Up on Syria. Again:

This deal might be a way for the president to slink out of the White House without having to do more to resolve the Syrian crisis. But it is also a horribly fitting end to years of mistakes and cowardice. When the history of the Syrian civil war is written, there will be plenty of villains and plenty of blame to go around. But by choosing cowardice and placing his trust in Putin, President Obama has earned his share of infamy and then some.

As with those who’ve tried to salvage the wreckage of the Carter administration, in the coming years, the spin from leftwing historians to explain away Obama’s disasters as some sort of ninth-dimensional chess playing will be spectacular to watch.

Not to say that Clinton isn’t the most repugnant, but we now have a larger context within which to judge him. Perhaps Hillary Clinton will lend a similar context to our judgment of Obama. Ah, the uses of history,” Scott Johnson writes at Power Line.
