OOPS: Watch Obama Promise That He’d Never Send Troops To Syria
The Federalist ^ | 10-30-2015 | Sean Davis

Posted on 10/30/2015 9:28:32 AM PDT by tcrlaf

"My answer is simple: I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria."

If you like your boots-free Syria, you can keep your boots-free Syria.

The White House reversed course today and announced that the Obama administration would be deploying special forces troops and military advisers to Syria. The new White House policy directly contradicts multiple promises personally made by President Barack Obama in 2013 that he would not put combat boots on the ground in Syria.

Obama PROMISING his inane followers, in a Prime-tine National TV Address on Sep 10, 2013, that the US will NEVER deploy Ground Troops in Syria.

September 10, 2013. “I will not pursue an open-ended action like Iraq or Afghanistan.”

OOPSY!!! Even daring to note this inconvenient truth is racist, right???

Isn’t that cute, Obama gets to start his own Vietnam War at least. At worst, WW III is a possibility.

No boots on the ground.
The personnel will be wearing athletic shoes.
See? No problem.

“Uh, some folks may say I lied whan I said “no boots on the ground in Syria”. But they, uh, would be wrong.”

“I have ordered our troops in Syria to wear Birkenstocks.”

Gee, why does this remind me of “Read my lips: no new taxes”? Think the consequences will be the same? Hell, no.

I like how he justifies going after Assad because he(maybe) used poison gas on his people. Seems to me there was someone named Saddam who used poison gas on Iraqi Kurds.

Obama is only sending the special forces members there to be killed. He needs them to die as payment to his Muslim overlords for the Russians killing so many of their people in Syria. (Just the way he set up Seal Team Six.)

Plus, he can pretend to be helping in Syria while he actually passes intel on to the enemy. I don’t think the Russians will be fooled one bit.
