Die Rede an die Nation im September von Obama sollte man sich auch mal reinziehen. Diese habe ich sogar als Bedrohung aufgefasst.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spIWGoNZnaU (Video: President Barack Obama's Speech on ISIS | The New York Times)Auszug daraus:
Abroad, American leadership is the one constant in an uncertain world. It is America that has the capacity and the will to mobilize the world against terrorists. It is America that has rallied the world against Russian aggression, and in support of the Ukrainian peoples’ right to determine their own destiny. It is America –- our scientists, our doctors, our know-how –- that can help contain and cure the outbreak of Ebola. It is America that helped remove and destroy Syria’s declared chemical weapons so that they can’t pose a threat to the Syrian people or the world again. And it is America that is helping Muslim communities around the world not just in the fight against terrorism, but in the fight for opportunity, and tolerance, and a more hopeful future.
America, our endless blessings bestow an enduring burden. But as Americans, we welcome our responsibility to lead. From Europe to Asia, from the far reaches of Africa to war-torn capitals of the Middle East, we stand for freedom, for justice, for dignity. These are values that have guided our nation since its founding.

Ich denke eher, dass sich die Gründerväter im Grab herumdrehen würden.
Ganz besonders interessant die Lüge:
It is America that helped remove and destroy Syria’s declared chemical weapons so that they can’t pose a threat to the Syrian people or the world again.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/09/10/statement-president-isil-1Es ist Russland zu verdanken, dass die USA und ihre Verbündeten keinen Krieg gegen Syrien begonnen haben. Zumal sich herausgestellt hat, dass das eingesetzte Sarin nicht mit einer Probe übereinstimmte, die aus dem Bestand der syrischen Armee entnommen wurde.
Die Initiative aber, Syriens chemische Waffen einzusammeln und zu vernichten ging von Russland aus.
Hierzumal aus einem Artikel "Who's sarin?"
von Seymor Hersh:
The proposed American missile attack on Syria never won public support and Obama turned quickly to the UN and the Russian proposal for dismantling the Syrian chemical warfare complex. Any possibility of military action was definitively averted on 26 September when the administration joined Russia in approving a draft UN resolution calling on the Assad government to get rid of its chemical arsenal. Obama’s retreat brought relief to many senior military officers. (One high-level special operations adviser told me that the ill-conceived American missile attack on Syrian military airfields and missile emplacements, as initially envisaged by the White House, would have been ‘like providing close air support for al-Nusra’.)
The administration’s distortion of the facts surrounding the sarin attack raises an unavoidable question: do we have the whole story of Obama’s willingness to walk away from his ‘red line’ threat to bomb Syria? He had claimed to have an iron-clad case but suddenly agreed to take the issue to Congress, and later to accept Assad’s offer to relinquish his chemical weapons. It appears possible that at some point he was directly confronted with contradictory information: evidence strong enough to persuade him to cancel his attack plan, and take the criticism sure to come from Republicans.
