The administration wants a strike at Dictator Bashar al-Assad for stepping over Obama’s red line. But he doesn't intend to topple Assad or specifically help the rebels, and Comander Zero clearly has cold feet about his previous promises to arm the rebels. If American credibility is on the line in Syria now that Assad has used chemical weapons, the administration is failing to adequately explain any military plan that would leave the dictator in place and with his armed forces largely intact.
Do they, or did they every have a workable plan?
