The Obama administration's policy toward Syria and its more than four-year civil war is rapidly becoming a black mark on the president's legacy. And a scathing new report by Peter Baker of The New York Times details the mind-boggling decision by the White House to refuse to accept any responsibility. The blame for the failed US effort to train Syrian rebels to fight ISIS "should be pointed not at Mr. Obama but at those who pressed him to attempt training Syrian rebels in the first place," administration officials told Baker. There are only "four or five" US-trained rebels left fighting in Syria after a group of 60 were ambushed in August by the Al Qaeda branch in Syria, the Nusra Front.

I pray a Republic, Constitution saving military type organization is prepared to save our basics. We will likely have to divide up into 0s dependents, sick libs and sexually challenged into one group and conservatives and producer groups into other(s) perhaps geographically. He flies his butt all over hell playing golf, fund raising (for what?), vacationing and wearing out our our equipment and he hates us. He cannot believe in our Savior as he lies to the world endlessly. God Save Us

"The Devil made me do it!" is a perfect excuse for Obama because, after all, that is what the Satanic Verses were all about. It's the quintessential excuse ... even Mohammed used it.

It's as if Ben Franklin and other Founders knew that Barack Obama would someday appear on the scene.

I would say that Obama was the Flip Wilson president, but Flip Wilson was a good funny guy. I wouldn’t tie him to Obama.

You miss the point .
We spent 500 million and we trained and armed 5 moderate Muslims, and about 10,000 not so quite moderate Muslims who now are fighting with ISIS and al Qaeda.
