Pinnacle of our Perdicament

NOW(*), not exactly, ALL IN.

(statement)

The president may or may not get approval from congress in one form or another.  A limited strike is opposed by some for not being enough.  With a congress of such low popularity, and criticism for not doing enough, the president will still have a schtick, and we will still have the table.

(* need update)

[New World Order ? ]

Buy In or Sell Out

Red Lines and Towing the Line(on Syria). 
The President is not putting America's credibility at stake, he is staking out the credibility of International Law and Globalization. This is a far cry from the Bush Era "war" president and unifier.**

[This is about the complexities of progress, metaphor not parody{*}, and boldly going where it is needed to make it so. The "Thick Blue" reference is not to admire the latter's insert but contrast the Thin Red Line with the admonitions of irony in being policeman to the world, not to mention "no win" or re-boots of history.]

** update [It is my view that measured actions are within the President's post-9-11 powers.  Not that I agree with their evolution, but imagine the difficulty in devolving them.[**]  Also Maru translates as "circle", as well as being indicative of a "ship".  It is not so much about the no-win, but more about the course.]
