Smartest move I’ve seen out of this administration in a while. We don’t have to love Assad to have a common enemy.

Somebody must be overruling Obama.

‘’The enemy of my enemy is my friend’’. Beside, nations don’t have allies they only have interests.

Sharp observation. Stalin was no friend either.

When the only smart move is to use US weapons to vaporize US weapons and those we gave them to, we've sunk really low.

A really, really smart move would be to unfriend Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Maybe send an "I'm sorry" note to Assad?

I highly suspect and would be surprised if it was nothing but another lie from the Obama regime.

Obama could care less about ISIS, the only reason he's done anything thus far was for purposes of political cover amidst the public outcry over genocidal slaughters in Iraq. And even then, Obama, has done the bare minimum militarily. In fact, I would venture to guess he has spent more time crafting statements to the press then he has crafting policy against ISIS.

Obama wants Assad gone and he wants Middle East stability gone so that Islamic rule can fill the vacuum. The Arab spring is his behind the scenes project and Syria is the next domino he wishes to topple. Any excuse Obama can use to bomb Syria will be the beginning of yet another Obama subversion of what the American people want him to do with the powers they give him to do it with.

Agree. In the absence of a viable good choice, choose the lesser evil, if pressed. A nasty secular regime is preferable to Islamic fundamentalism. I’d have even aligned with the Soviets against Afghanistan’s mujahideen, if faced with the choice.
