Obama: His Line Eyes

by AF Branco

The AP reported yesterday that when President Obama was "asked about his past comments drawing a "red line" against the use of chemical weapons, Obama said it was a line that had first been clearly drawn with the chemical weapons treaty ratified by countries around the world and ratified by Congress."

"He declared, quote, 'That wasn't something I made up. didn't pluck it out of thin air. There's a reason for it.'

"The president said there was far more than his own credibility at stake in responding to the chemical weapons attack.

"'I didn't set a red line, the world set a red line,' he said. "The world set a red line when governments representing 98 percent of world population said the use of chemical weapons are abhorrent." He added that Congress set its own red line when it ratified the treaty."
