Actually, I totally agree with Gen Petraeus - not supporting the President will undermine and do damage to both the President personally and to the country.

In a normal world dealing with a normal President, the correct and rational thing to do would be to support him.

For Obama this just simply is not the case.

The damage President Obama has already done in conduct of his military operations and the even greater damage he will do in any future military adventures is so dangerous and damaging to the United States that he must be stopped at all costs.

Any damage done blocking Obama military misadventures is orders of magnitude less damaging than letting carry out his military agenda.

There are no good solutions to the problem , but blocking him is currently the lesser of two evils by a long shot

I think of Obama losing on Syria as firefighters demolishing buildings to create a fire break. Not good for the buildings knocked down but good for what remains of the city.

Spot on, but not just for Obama. What possibly national interest is there in attacking Assad’s forces?

Good points.

The rest of the world is laughing. I’m sure most of them realize that Zippy will be gone in Jan 2017.

I see no reason to do anything to “save” Zippy’s reputation. He has none to save and everyone knows it. Even he, with his limited intelligence, must know it. Sure he’s in denial, but deep down he knows it.

Absolutely.

Even if pounding the bejesus out of Assad is the right thing to do, undertaking such a mission with Obama as Commander in Chief is a recipe for disaster.
