Krauthammer came to the same conclusion I posted earlier. Obama is trying to find a way to walk his attack threat back by letting time go by.
Daily Callerreports immediately following his statement from the Rose Garden on Saturday, which President Barack Obama said he would delay a strike on Syria until seeking authorization from Congress, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer took to Fox News to slam the president.Krauthammer criticized Obama for the way he has handled the unfolding of events surrounding the crisis in Syria.“[T]he most astonishing thing is the lack of any urgency,” Krauthammer said. “As you say, Congress will be back in a week. He says, ‘I can strike in a day or a week or a month,’ as if he is a judge handing down a sentence and the execution can be any time in the future. There is a war going on. Do you think everybody is going to hold their breath, hold their arms, step aside until Obama decides when he wants to go to Congress?

Obama can’t have it both ways. He can’t argue the need to attack Syria for whatever reason and at the same time say it doesn’t have to happen right away. It’s either urgent and in the best interests of the United States, or it’s not so urgent after all because it can wait. Dithering doesn’t look good for him and the county
