hands-off counterterrorism doctrine

Huh? We was arming the terrorists, so there was no hands-off doctrine. Just backed the wrong horse and lost. Further destroying the Middle East and most of Europe as well. Though he had willing support in the destruction of Europe, and through Europe the Middle East.

The answer is that, under the treasonous Kenyan Muslim, America switched sides and fought on the side of Al Queada and the Saudi Wahabis.

Obama is a traitor on and should be tried fr treason.

Wrong answer, Ethan. Israel would far rather have secular strongman Assad in power than lunatic jihadists.

Israel frequently bombs Assad's positions.

Life for Christians in Syria has gotten substantially better with the defeat of Obozo's "moderate terorists(TM)".

Celebration in Aleppo

Israel has been a bad actor in this context.

“Moderate rebel groups”...There are no moderate rebel groups if you are Christian or even a different flavor of Islamic. Whoever came to power in Assad’s place would likely just be a different flavor of ISSIS. ISSIS is essentially what you get when you render down the Koran to its basic tenants. None of the Koran is good for those who are not running the government or who are Christian.

One has to wonder, then, why Israel wants Assad out.

Now you know why we are (or were) in Syria.

...sounds the death knell for the outgoing Obama administration’s hands-off counterterrorism doctrine...

How on earth can one take a "hands-off" strategy towards terrorism?

Whatever. Obama's strategy was to destabilize Middle Eastern regimes and foment terrorism. The ultimate goal with that is the downfall of Western Civilization.

Thank God Hillary won't be able to finish the job that Obama started.

“One has to wonder, then, why Israel wants Assad out. “

I don’t think Israel has done anything to support Assad, as support from Israel would be his death knell. Neither have they done anything obvious to dislodge him. Assad was a secular leader and the Christians support him as they could exist and probably prosper under his leadership. I think in that last sentence you see Obama’s and Hillary’s hatred for Assad; he was secular and the Christians support him. As for Israel, I am fairly sure they know where he is and have the bunker buster capability to kill him if they wanted to. They have done nothing, which in the Middle East is ringing support.

We sure did. El-Sisi, with King Abdullah of Jordan, are the best leaders in the Muslim world by far.

Zero treats El-Sisi like a pariah and keeps King Abdullah at arm's length. That tells you all you need to know about this sorry regime.

Those 1000 private emails between Petreus and Hillary Clinton appear to have the answer.

This guy, George Webb, has been researching the wikileaks emails and has discovered the Clinton Foundation inner circle and what they have been up to. Hillary Clinton, Clinton Foundation, Sid Blumenthal, Petreus, Comey, Soros, Eric Braverman, Carlos Slim . . . they’ve developed a technique for toppling governments and raiding the assets and oil, as well as human trafficking. He’s a determined investigator.

Watch these videos - she wasn’t done even after she left office of Sec of State - This ties together the reasons why she was using a private server. Those debacles served the Clinton Foundation well, and the evidence is in the emails that Comey at the FBI is blocking the investigation of. He’s implicated.

Obama is the puppet put in the White House so that Soros and the Clintons/Clinton Foundation can do their dirty work around the world in their quest for power and control. They have used the terrorists to destabilize the world.

See what you think about what this guy has discovered analyzing those emails off Clinton’s private server - he has found a cast of characters and a pattern.

“Israel regularly bombs Syria. “

Israel regularly bombs Hezbollah convoys transferring weapons and material to Lebanon. Sometimes they use glide bombs to hit them at the assembly points in Syria.

The situation in Syria is probably the most complicated social and diplomatic problem in the world. Iran, Russia, Assad and Hezbollah are allies. Russia has regular and good relations with Israel. Hezbollah and Israel are in a smoldering cold war. Russia allows Israeli flights through space it could protect to attack Hezbollah. Israel and Russia coordinate flights in the area to ensure there are no unfortunate incidents. This must create a tense situation between Russia and Hezbollah but, apparently, everybody has bowed to the reality of the situation. Amazing. Simply amazing.
