Compare Obama Today and One Year Ago: “I Didn’t Set a Red Line, The World Set a Red Line”

... #ad▼

President Obama says a “red line” was crossed when Syria used chemical weapons, but it wasn’t drawn by him.

President Barack Obama says he didn’t set a Red Line. He says the world set a Red Line. You be the judge.

“When I said in a press conference that my calculus about what’s happening in Syria would be altered by the use of chemical weapons, which the overwhelming consensus of humanity says is wrong … that wasn’t something I just kind of made up.”

— President Barack Obama

President warns Bashar al-Assad that the use of chemical or biological weapons in Syria or chemical weapons being moved around is a “red line” that should not be crossed. Obama says the action would be a Red Line for us, he doesn’t say a red line for the world.

U.S. President Barack Obama’s “red line” speech in August 2012, in which he warned that chemical weapons use in Syria, which is one of five non-signatories to the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention, would trigger American intervention.
