Obama could not play poker

Syria today is on the verge of the most grave threat to the world since Hitler.  Syria is now becoming a war within a religion instead of what it was two years ago.  Two years ago it was about a dictator and his ruthlessness.  Two years ago it was about the area and its push for freedom.  Now it's about Sunni and Shia.  This can become a global fight which can effect every city in the world. 

The culprit in the short term were Hezbollah.  Hezbollah sent their men to fight for Assad.  This probably was the worst decision ever made by the group.  It may be their downfall as the Muslims become divided and forget the cause of Palestine. 

The Muslim brotherhood and their ilk last week urged their Sunni members to go fight in Syria.  Egypt broke relations with Syria. Iran being Shia now can justify their arms shipment to Syria.

The number one culprit of this situation is Obama and his lack of understanding of how to play poker. When you are playing Texas no limit and have a pair of aces in the hole, it's all about ensuring your advantage.  You do not want someone with nothing to stay in the game and by chance get three of a kind on the flop.  To ensure this you must start with a high bet.  By placing a high bet you let everyone know the price will be high to play this hand.  Those with nothing will fold and those with a semblance of a hand have to weigh the high cost of playing and risk to reward value.
Obama held aces as the president of USA.  All he had to do was come out and state Americas support of the overthrow of Assad.  That America would supply the rebels and help finance if Assad choose to fight his own people.  What we are now saying 2 years later.  By doing this he would have let Russia, China, and Assad know what the cost of playing the hand was going to be.  Instead he let them see the flop for no cost and now the pair of aces are not the best hand.

Any day, any where, any time I would be willing to play poker with this man.  The worst leader since Clinton.
