Goodness knows what communications passed between the White House and the State Department. With the President about to be interviewed by six television networks—ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, NBC, and PBS—in a media blitz designed to turn around public opinion, the last thing the Administration needed was for Kerry to engage in some loose talk abroad. But Obama’s aides should temper their anger. Much of the blame for Kerry’s troubles lies with his boss, who has placed him in an increasingly invidious position by deciding to go to Congress, and subsequently conceding that Assad’s chemical weapons don’t pose any “imminent direct threat” to the United States. The big talking point in Washington is whether defeat in Congress on a vote to attack Syria would cripple the remainder of Obama’s Presidency. That can be debated, but one thing is abundantly clear. The President’s bumbling has gravely undermined the credibility of his Secretary of State.
