A PRESIDENT?S DITHERING FALSE BRAVADO IBD

Sinopsis

Incredibly, within just 90 minutes after his unwavering announcement to the world (on September 30th, 2013) that the United States may indeed bomb Syria, President Obama inexplicably changed course and was already contemplating calling the whole thing off. But who and/or what exactly could have happened to so abruptly cause President Barack Obama to make the consensus, greatest foreign policy blunder of his eight-year Presidency - by backing down, ultimately for good, from enforcing his &ldquo,Red Line&rdquo, Ultimatum against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for launching a banned chemical weapons attack that killed over 1,300 of his own people in August 2013?In A President&rsquo,s Dithering False Bravado, Patterson meticulously and compellingly presents the case that, based on sound deductive reasoning, there exists the requisite preponderance of evidence to persuasively and conclusively support the contention as to who or what nation caused and convinced President Barack Obama &ndash, that very same day - to back down from enforcing his &ldquo,Red Line&rdquo, Ultimatum against Syria in 2013.Even more intriguing, why did President Obama believe it to be so imperative to capitulate &ndash, even at the indelible risk to his Presidential foreign policy legacy, given the torrent of criticism that he has been forced to endure ever since for having backed down from enforcing his &ldquo,Red Line&rdquo, Ultimatum against Syria and, in particular Bashar al-Assad.

A condition to which Assad
