Obama rejects candidates' ideas for solving crisis in Syria

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is accusing White House hopefuls of concocting "half-baked" ideas for solving the crisis in Syria, appearing to even dismiss his former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's call for a no-fly zone before later clarifying his view of the Democratic front-runner.

The idea of a no-fly zone — a region of Syria that the United States would protect from bombing to create a safe corridor for refugees — has emerged as a favorite option for Democratic and Republican candidates. It's a plan that allows them to stake out a more aggressive military posture than Obama, while stopping short of the kind of large-scale combat troop deployments the U.S. engaged in for years in Iraq and Afghanistan — and of which voters have wearied.

Obama, who opposes such a move, said Friday that he'd like critics of his Syria policies to be asked, "Specifically, precisely, what exactly would you do?" He told a White House news conference, "Typically, what you get is a bunch of mumbo jumbo."

I’m no fan of Obama, but then again, I’m no fan of getting into a shooting war with Russia.

We had our chance to not screw things up there...we screwed things up...it’s best to cut our losses and find some other place to beat our chests.

A safe corridor for terrorists is what it will become by Day 2, if not Day 1.

They will hide among the civilians. Lessee, North Vietnam, Afghanistan, Hamas....

They are obviously out of touch with the true nature of this crisis.

Obama is perfectly happy with the way it has turned out.

The gall of him acting like he’s a fountain of knowledge and diplomacy and qualified to pass judgement on others.

I suppose he finds comfort from world opinion by looking in the mirror.

Zer0 should direct his LBGT gestapo to sue ISIS if they won’t perform gay marriages.

Seems to me he has had more than his chance to address the problem. In fact, he has most likely created much of the problem. He did not start the lunacy, but he has thrown nothing but gasoline on the fire.

No, no, you’re wrong. It’s because he knows BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE, even though he has had no Military training. He’s CIC and can do whatever he wants and our brave men and women in uniform have to go along. Disastrous.

POS Obama used a racist term. LOL

That sounds like something said in the jungles of Africa.

That’s how he works. He lets things go bad and turns to the next thing he can help go bad.

Cloward-Piven on a world wide scale is the name of his game.

So Obama and the Republicans are going to enable the Muslim Invasion of Europe and the United States while the same time allowing the violence to escalate and force even more to flee?

It's certainly not a solution.

He started it by dumping Ghadaffi and Mubarak and giving Iran the Bomb.

Like we get from the President.
