Bush failed when he tried to push democracy in Iraq and Gaza. Obama kept the failures and threw out the successes
Well who could have predicted the ‘rebels’ would ‘falter’?
Islam is against personal freedom and general independence of all sorts of meanings. To make progress Islam has to go.
McCain, Graham and Rubio helped arm the jihadis, don’t forget to give them the “credit” they deserve.

When does congress declare war on Syria?
Who are the combatants in this conflict?
The questions go on and on
WTF ARE WE DOING IN SYRIA?
The McCain/Obama policy of aiding that group of dissidents is a disaster. They have little independent support within Syria, do they would totally depend on us. When the Democrats and Republican isolationists inevitably began to desert them, they would be forced to work with ISIS to survive.
McCain and Graham deserve no credit.
They are two faced liars and a disgrace the our great country.
They went along when Obama armed and funded ISIS.
People like Bush and Sharansky thought islam could be reformed if muslims were under democracies. They meant well.. they weren’t globalists. But it was a great mistake and I am glad we’ve moved on
None of our allies are threatened by Syria. This is something the gulf states and Turkey wanted for strategic reasons

All of the Bush family are globalists, GHW Bush actually used the words New World Order.
And nothing to do with turning Syria into a democracy for the sake of humanity. Stupid fools
W Bush was a neo-con. Neo cons believe in spreading our love and democracy all over the world
HW Bush was a globalist. It’s all business to him
‘Bout time the ‘rebels’ were wiped out.
That is the only way Syria will find peace.
If the rebels won, Syria would go the way of Libya with each faction against all the others.
