Long article by one of Obama's Middle East policy sycophants. For what's it worth.

Obama totally screwed the pooch and lost everything. But is still pretending that he’s smarter than the guys who just ate his lunch.

[I was among those who advocated increased assistance, including military assistance, to the Syrian opposition]

Look at Europe on the evening news. This is Obama’s making via his “Arab Spring” stuff.

He owns it.

No need to rethink, it will be a Russian fiefdom shortly.

I have despised Assad since shortly after he took power, and my views on him have not changed. However, the idea of removing him from power was shockingly stupid - the casual observer could see that all viable alternatives were worse, and informed observers could see just how much worse they might be. Events have proven me to be correct, and Obama is still too stupid or too evil to back down and allow Syria to restore stability.

You know, fooling around and trying to overthrow the government of another country is pretty serious business.

That’s actually an act of war. People die. Stuff gets destroyed. Money gets spent on fighting.

Why are we at war with Syria?

I understand that Assad is no angel, but why, specifically, are we at war with Syria?

And why did we go to war with Libya? What was the specific reason we destroyed the government of Libya and had Qadaffi killed?

What are our national interests in these wars?

The thing is, once you start a war with another country and you start killing their people and destroying their stuff and forcing them to defend themselves,

They get mad at you.

They want revenge. Their friends want revenge. Everyone in the country that is attacking becomes a fair target. Our stuff becomes a fair target. We have to spend more money.

That’s OK if it’s necessary.

But Libya and Syria?

Why did the Democrats feel the need to start wars with them specifically?

And a sharp strengthening of the Russia-ChiCom-Iran-Syria axis is a “wonderful” thing for the US, Israel, and our NATO allies. /S

This as Russia builds a 2nd major military base on the border with the Ukraine.

support the Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC) as the legitimate representatives of Syrian people

Since when is it up to us to decide who is the legitimate representative of the Syrian people? Or of any other people, for that matter?
