Sen. Inhofe: Obama Has "Clearly Retreated" On Syria
WALLACE: As I discussed with Secretary Kerry, this is not just about Syria. It's also about Hezbollah and North Korea and Iran. Senator Inhofe, what kind of message does the president send when he calls a time-out of a more than a week on taking action, says he's going to give it to Congress. Talks about a very limited attack and then heads off to Europe? What message should our enemies around the world read from this?
INHOFE: Well, Chris, first of all, I think the thing that should not have been done is the line in the sand or the red line saying we are going to do this, sounding very, very -- if he's going to make that statement, he ought to stay with it. And even though I didn't agree -- don't agree with what he's going to ultimately want to do. But if you're going to say something, you've got to back it up. And this president clearly has retreated from the position that he took not just in the last couple of days, but about a week ago when he talked about the red line.
