America's 'classified' allies? Puh-lease.

Over on the news side, Becket highlights Debbie Wasserman Schultz's sly insistence that "dozens" of countries around the world are ready to support the U.S. if President Obama pursues military action in Syria. The only caveat: she can't tell us who they are.

Aren't those the best sort of allies -- the ones who are so committed to your mission that they'll whisper about it in private?

Seriously -- does President Obama really think he can sell the case for action to the American public with this coalition of the shy?
