Regarding today’s meeting of EU ambassadors mentioned this morning: It resulted in some new sanctions on individuals and institutions, and an announcement that an oil embargo is being considered. Some diplomats are saying an embargo could be approved next week. Here’s hoping.
Meanwhile, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies sent a letter to Obama today with 32 mostly (but not entirely) right-leaning signatories, suggesting further steps to take in a diplomatic push against Assad (you will notice that getting the Europeans on board is critical to several of their suggestions). Leaning forward, Michael Rubin considers what would come after Assad’s fall.

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

What that moron-in-chief and his equally moronic Democrat-administration should do [but won't since it would be too intelligent] would be to embargo the whole middle east and their combined oil supply, by simply opening up all three of our adjorning oceans to our domestic oil drilling/production and dedicating same to our exclusive supply needs [and thereby negating the supply dependency that we now have with middle eastern oil]!!!!!!!!!

PS: Even though that US embargo of imported Syrian oil will mostly effect Europe's supply, expect our gasoline prices to creep back towards $4/gallon as a result. This administration's policies resemble a 'CHINESE FIRE DRILL' !!!!
