Obama’s feckless Syria policy is likely to fail - The Washington Post

　オバマの無責任（feckless）でシリアがぐだぐだになり、他の外交にも悪影響になりつつある。

Mr. Obama’s fecklessness on Syria has baffled and alarmed important U.S. allies, including Turkey and Israel, which wonder if the United States can still be counted on as a force in the region. It has emboldened not just Mr. Assad but also Iran, which has been stepping up its own intervention in Syria in the belief that it will not be countered. Now the president is failing to deliver even on the modest action he decided on. It’s a spectacle that can only harm U.S. standing in the Middle East ― and prolong Syria’s bloodshed.

　まあ、予想されたことだし、ある意味、ブッシュ叩きの呪いのようなものだろう。「あほで間抜けなブッシュ」を叩くことで、冷血で無責任なオバマが出来てしまったのではないか。
