Agree on most of that except last paragraph. Had the saudi’s stayed out of it I’m convinced Obama would have done the same thing. There is a pattern - Eqypt, Libya, Syria. Obama sides with radical muslims. Also Obama shot his mouth off about the red line and is committed to doing something. He just wants to orchestrate it in a way that topples Assad. He wants his legacy to show he toppled 3-4 dictators. Who’s next after Syria?
The Saud’s were never going to stay out it...that’s who began sending in the Jihadists and foreign fighters by the truck load.....Syria is critical to them just as it is to Iran.....but they will not get their own ‘hands’ in the fight.....they’ve used leverage on their people and any nation who gets close to them...or relys on them...they know how to play their cards...(revenue and oil) and they do so to the worlds demise...they are not our friend and never will be.
The Sauds underestimated the Assad regieme......and also Russia’s defiance at the UN....that’s why they are calling in their chips now.
The word is out to Hezbollah and the foreign fighters not to intervene when US strikes......now who has that degree of power to make such a demand of terrorists?
Who;s next you ask?....Iran.
