In political gamesmanship, there are several things that you do not do. The most important one is that you NEVER issue a threat that you do not have the backing to carry it through. You should always have a tight rein on your own party and at least minimal support from the other party. In the article “ASSAD BRACKETS OBAMA” “CBS News: ‘President Bashar Assad warned … that if President Obama decides to launch military strikes on Syria, the U.S. and its allies should ‘expect every action’ in retaliation…. ‘You should expect everything. Not necessarily from the government,’ Assad told ‘CBS This Morning’ co-host Charlie Rose. … In a clear reference to his allies in Iran and the Islamic militant group Hezbollah, Assad warned that his government is ‘not the only player in this region.’" President Obama has affectively neither. He is caught in a position that will have a far reaching impact for years to come on elections for his party!
