President Obama’s most pathetic excuse yet
President Obama’s most pathetic excuse yet
October 6, 2016 | 9:05pm
Yes, President Obama really did just try to blame climate change for horrors now under way in Syria. It was a two-fer in the self-justification sweepstakes — shifting the blame toward a threat he’s crusaded against, and away from his own years of inaction.
At a White House climate-change event with actor Leo DiCaprio, Obama cited “powerful” studies that suggest “droughts that happened in Syria contributed to the unrest and the Syrian civil war.”
Which, he went on, makes man-caused global warming “a national-security issue” — one ignored by “members of Congress who scoff at climate change at the same time they are . . . extolling their patriotism.”
Look: Syria’s “unrest” started as peaceful protests — which dictator Bashar al-Assad answered with bullets and then barrel bombs, triggering a rebellion.
Obama insisted on staying out — refusing even low-risk steps like setting up no-fly zones to shield innocent civilians, or sending arms to pro-US rebels.
Instead, he mocked the rebels as “pharmacists and dentists” — and ISIS, when it came on the scene, as a “JV team.”
He loudly drew a “red line,” then blinked when the time came to enforce it — saving face only thanks to a lifeline from Russia’s Vladimir Putin, who would later intervene decisively to save Assad.
And climate change had nothing to do with any of it — it’s simply the “threat” Obama wants to fight, rather than the ones he’s actually been faced with.
That he’s still claiming he was right all along isn’t just smug, it’s pathethic.
