U.S. action was thought to be imminent last week after chemical weapons were used in Syria – a situation that Obama had previously described as a “red line†for his administration.
Speaking to Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeem, Jamil said Obama “was defeated before the war began.â€
America’s “muddled†position on airstrikes “has made a mockery of the U.S. administration all over the world,†he said, adding, “Previous administrations never cared about public opinion, Congress or allies.â€
Jamil mocked the Syrian rebel fighters, who had hoped for a U.S. intervention that would weaken the Assad regime. “For them this popular saying applies: You brought us halfway to the water well, then abandoned us,†he taunted.
