To this white house, "all options on the table" means "I still don't know what to do".

Too true.

President Barack Hussein Obama has made many nonsensical speeches in the past six years but ranks right up at the top of the list.

First he presented the case for bombing Syria, they he presented the opposition for NOT bombing Syria and then he presented the case, again, for bombing Syria.

The carryings on of President Putin reminded me of this parable. You have seen various versions. Here the snake would be President Putin and President Assad.


This brings to mind The Parable of the Snake which I now relate:

Once upon a time there was a serpent who was badly injured in a fight with another animal. It managed to slither away to safety but would have surely died if a benevolent man had not seen it suffering by the side of the road. The goodly man carefully wrapped the snake up and took it to his house, where he bestowed the kindest and gentlest care on the snake until it was healed and could return to the wild. Just as the man was releasing the serpent back into the grass, the ungrateful snake turned and bit him on the hand.

"What did you do that for?" cried the man, who knew that the bite of this particular snake was usually fatal. "Didn't I take care of you when no one else would?"

The snake shrugged (no small feat for a snake!) and replied to the benevolent--and now doomed-- man, "What did you expect? You knew I was a snake when you picked me up."

We certainly know without any question that they are snakes.
