Gulf States worried by Obama passivity on Syria

With Obama's reluctance to green light a military strike on Assad's assets in Syria, many Arab leaders in the Gulf have started questioning the U.S resolve in confronting Iran's nuclear ambition. If the Obama's Administration can not even show a bit of muscle against the Syrian dictator who is slaughtering his own people like they were sheeps, how can they expect him to deal with Iran who would be a much tougher opponent.

Of course, the Iranians are watching Obama's every movement in Syria with great interest and concerns since it could give them an idea of what to expect when it comes time to pivot and deal with Iran's nuclear sprint toward the bomb. Now that the prospect for military strike against Assad is vanishing, the Iranians have good cause to celebrate since it hints at a lack of resolve and strength to deal with tyrants when they misbehave.

The Jerusalem-Post recent article "Gulf States question US resolve on Iran", seems to suggest growing anxiety among the Gulf Arab Monarchies Kingdom concerning The Obama Administration handling of Syria. It is obvious to them that a weaken Assad equals a weaken Iran, thus their support for military action against Assad, but it doesn't look like Obama is listening much. Instead, it looks like he's come to an agreement with the Russian that would exclude a military strike against Assad...Of course, we all know the Russian main goal is to protect Assad and prevent his Dictatorship from collapsing under hundreds of U.S ballistic missiles who'd be falling on Assad's men like billions of  acid rain drops.
