OBAMA, THE WOLF WHO CRIED BOY (with apologies to Canis lupis)

He threatened anyone anywhere that he could.  

"GIVE ME THAT BOY!"  

But he couldn't get him.  He exhausted all his power -- his NSA, his FBI, his CIA, and his millions of spy contractors -- but still failed to apprehend the Boy, the Boy who outed him.

Which was even more embarrassing.

Since he couldn't get the Boy, he'd force the world to forget him.  

How?

He said that he had secret inside information about an imminent attack on American embassies all over the world.    To prove that he was serious, that this was not just a ploy to distract from the Boy problem, he ordered American embassies all over the world to be closed, and told the diplomats who lived there to flee.  

As we know, no attacks by al-Qaida ever materialized.

But perhaps more importantly, both friends and enemies wondered why the armed forces of the United States of America, the so-called "most powerful country in the world" couldn't protect its embassies and its people from a bunch of lunatics on camels who hate them.

When the Wolf realized that he had actually made America look stupid and weak with his embassy-closing/flee-the-country ploy, he went to plan B.  

We are in the midst of plan B now:

He says that he is 100% positive (even though he has no hard evidence), that chemical weapons are being used by the Syrian government against other Syrians in a civil war in Syria.   He says he knows because Syrian Islamist rebels, including al-Qaida (who are trying to depose Assad) said so.

"Assad must be held accountable," he said.   "I will use my cruise missiles to punish him."

Why?

Why is it so important for him to "punish" Assad?

Only a small percentage of Americans think that it is America's responsibility to shoot cruise missiles (which cost three million dollars each) at Syrian targets.  Yet the Wolf in sheep's clothing is sticking to his guns.  He continues to bang loudly the drums of war.
