“Politicians invoke credibility as a excuse after they have made a huge blunder –notably Obama’s foolish ‘red lines’ in Syria that boxed the president into a corner of his own making.  What we are seeing is the latest, 21st century version of the new era of colonialism and imperialism, with a touch of Crusader zeal thrown in.  Today, the favored euphemism is humanitarian intervention, but the song remains the same. Syria is not about poison gas or human rights: it’s about a proxy war against Iran, the only nation now challenging total US and Israel military domination of the Mideast.  For France, it’s about reasserting its former colonial rule in Syria and Lebanon.”
