Did Obama Bungle the Syria Decision?

Fareed Zakaria:
“Whatever your views on the larger issues, it’s hard not to conclude
that the administration’s handling of Syria over the last year has been a
case study in how not to do foreign policy.”

Charlie Cook: “Putting aside the substantive policy question of whether we should or
should not punish Syria for its apparent use of chemical weapons with a
surgical and proportionate attack…what if he just changed his mind? Are
president’s allowed to second-guess themselves and change their minds if
they conclude that a previous or tentative decision was made in error?”
