What happens when everyone in the king's court is a jester?

The Syrian government apparently has handed world leader Russia new information implicating Syrian rebels in the red line (or was it Red Bull?) gas attack outside Damascus.  Now if this new information turns out to be more credible than a YouTube video nobody ever looked at, the king and his court of simpletons of a former world leader are in a tough spot.  Most people can accept something that has occurred previously – like a YouTube video sparking Muslim outrage - before they believe something that has never happened previously – like the king and court telling the truth.

Sadly, we have reached appoint where Assad and Putin are every bit as credible as the king or any of his lying minions.  Now the left is still clinging to the illusion that the king and his nitwit foreign minister got everything they wanted.  Oh yeah? Let’s review.

Shirilldabeast tells us Assad is a reformer.  That was, is and always will be total BS.

Cambodian war hero John Kerry tells us the road to peace in the Middle East run through Damascus. That was, is and always will be total BS.

The king tells us Assad has to go.  He’s still there and if anything is more powerful now than before the king’s pledge to use force.

The king draws a red line which he ignores the time it is crossed.  The second time it’s crossed he pledges to punish Assad with military action.  No military action has been taken.

After a gaff by the foreign minister, Putin commandeers the entire Syrian process and the king declares victory.  Assad is still there more deeply entrenched than ever.  He hasn’t been punished in any way.  The king moves the goal posts from punishing Assad to wanting chemical weapons out of Syria. 

Prediction:  One year from now they will still be talking about Syria turning over a complete list of its chemical weapons holdings.  Not one ting will have been accomplished.

The king and his court - made up entirely it seems of jesters - got played.  But as long the MSM tells our naked king his new clothes look splendid, the weak will go along to get along.  The last thing anyone wants is to have the IRS rolling in on them because they told the truth.
