This past weekend we called Obama's latest failed attempt to replace Syria's president (after a comparable attempt in 2013 also ended in failure) for what it is: "Make no mistake, this is shaping up to be the most spectacular US foreign policy debacle since Vietnam - and we don't think that's an exaggeration."

W spent $500 million to train rebels. 54 graduated. The first 5 out were captured and the other 49 took to the hills with their nice, new, American weapons.

How many were subjected to beatings, rapes, murders, be-headings, crucifixions, bullets in the back of heads, blown-up, gassed, and burned alive as a result of this failed operation?

They occupied Christian dominated cities as cover. Typical muzzie behavior.

Why am I not surprised? Obama always folds up like a cheap Wall-Mart Lawn Chair. The Myth of the Moderate Muslin Free Syrian Army is exploded as a way to arm ISIS via a back door. The No Fly Zone may well be put up by Syria/and Russia and force the USA and “Allies” out of the airspace.
