So Obama very publicly declared a red line if Syria used chemical weapons. And now Syria has used chemical weapons. And now Obama is like, “Well, there are other colors than red. Now if he goes over the green line, well… who knows what color line will come next.”
I guess he never actually thought Syria would use chemical weapons, thus he could sound tough threatening them and then never actually have to do anything. He’s of the “speak loudly and carry a cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels” school of diplomacy. Well, other countries are certainly going to take our threats seriously in the future and not cause us to have to respond to their violence.
I assert that the closest we ever were to being nuked was during the Carter presidency. When people sense weakness, that is when they attack. At least, Syria is only attacking others… with horrible chemical weapons of course since they didn’t take Obama seriously. They called that one right.
I thought Obama’s plan to keep his daughters from getting tattoos was cute, but did he declare a red line on that?
50 Shades of Red
The white line will be for immediate loading and unloading of ultimatums only. There is no stopping on a red line.
obama forgot that with a red line in the sand, he can’t have a yellow stripe on his back.
of course soon he will remember that it is other, better men who will do the dying. then he will talk big again.
I think Obama’s red line has much in common with the late Muammar Gaddiffie’s line of death. Both worthless.
Wouldn’t it be funny if when the daughters are old enough they decide to get a tattoo of the Obama logo with a big red X through it and then remind BO that he said he would get a matching tattoo? Of course he would probably do like he always does when confronted with something he once said…deny, deny, propose a new tax.

Maybe it wasn’t red red.
It was really kinda sorta darkish pink. Don’t question TheWon’s judgement on this. I mean, you probably don’t even know what the meaning of is is.
Where does Obama get all his different colored lines? From his great big box of Crayola Korans.
So I’m reading that Hamas is expecting to get chemical weapons from Assad. If they get them and use them on Israel Obama won’t have to worry about colored lines. There will be whole areas gently glowing in the dark.

The ignorance you people display here makes me sick to my stomach!!! Don’t you knuckle-dragging, wingnut Neanderthals know that there haven’t been COLORED lines since the 1950s!! They aren’t NEGRO lines either. You BIGOTS!! UGH!! WAKE THE HELL UP!!! UGH!! All that went the way of the separate but equal water fountains! Haven’t you people seen that amazing documentary “The Diary of Miss Jane Pittman”?!? I swear that scene where that noble elderly woman leaned over to take a drink from that white drinking fountain made me cry as well as feel SO PROUD of her!! She showed those fat dumb southern redneck republikan KKKers! So get a CLUE if you CAN. NO COLORED LINES!
That all the obama family needs. A bunch of tramp stamps. Believable.
