Are you seriously dumb enough to think that our military wasn't powerful enough to back up that statement? The problem with backing up ultimatums is that you can't just stop a bad guy without killing a bunch of innocent people. It becomes a question of whether the bad guy can get away with killing innocents or we stop him by killing innocents.
Was it bad to issue an ultimatum? Hard to say. If a bad leader is using chemical weapons, is it better to say nothing? What difference does it make? It's not like the bad guys don't know that our weakness is that we don't want to kill innocent people. IMO Obama did the right thing by giving the ultimatum. But Russia is part of the UN and that really makes it difficult to follow though.
IMO the ultimatum is irrelevant. It doesn't make any difference either way. We should have stayed out of it. But that's because we need to adopt a principle of staying out of the ME and let them deal with their own leaders.

Who's pointing backwards? Do you really think that Sheriff Barney Fife is going to build them houses? Because I haven't heard anything about that. The hypocrisy is bringing up homeless vets every time they want to shoot something else down that involves helping people.
