Then because our CIA guys are too stupid and vain to understand the culture ( from the view point of citizens who live there - rather than from the street thugs they recruit) the newly appointed CIA backed leader doesn't have deep support of the rebels or of the people. The people desert at the first sound of gunfire and the propped up newest fool falls. Rather than an Arab spring we get Arab ‘hell on earth’...
We're in Syria fighting a thug with the delusion we could replace him with a Thomas Jefferson - when (if we were to succeed) we'll replace the old thug with in a new thug or with total chaos.
I know this is horrible to say but we're too stupid to be involved over there ... Obama will be out of office in less than 400 days... we need to work and pray we can put someone in the White House who isn't a fool.... Until then we should offer measured military support to Putin to clean out ISIS...
Flame away...
No problems with what you stated; measured military support to Putin, no problem (even though I wouldn’t trust the KGB son of a b*tch as far as I could throw him) as long as he is indiscriminately killing ragheads.
The Middle East needs a steady hand and Obunghole is a pussy.
Better the Russians than some jihadi, 7th century savage that Obunghole would put in there.
