Former UN Ambassador John Bolton has said there appears to be 'amazing confusion' on the president's part about how to handle the Syria crisis and reports of chemical weapon use.
Obama, in remarks at the White House last August, made clear the United State's position on chemical weapons in the battle-worn state: even chemical weapon movement would cross a red line, Fox News reports.
Bolton said on 'America's News Headquarters' that he think that having issued the red line in the first place was a mistake, the report said.
The former ambassador's comments come a day after the Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel discussed positioning military assets near Syria.
Obama met on Saturday with his National Security team at the White House to discuss a Syria response if reports of chemical weapon use are deemed accurate, the report added.
