Morning Joe: Syria was Obama's 'Defining Moment' and 'History Going to be Rough'
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/10/2017 7:31:54 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Surprising consensus on today's Morning Joe that Barack Obama blew it bigly in Syria by punting on his redline. Even Obama fan Mike Barnicle admitted, "Syria was a serious mistake that the Obama administration made." Foreign policy honcho Richard Haass said "history's going to be rough on this. This is going to be the defining moment for the Obama presidency."

It wasn't just the panel that trashed Obama's mishandling of Syria. Joe Scarborough noted that not only did leading Dems like John Kerry and Hillary quickly come out in support of Trump's strikes, but that Dems were saying things that were "almost disloyal to Barack Obama, saying we could have never moved this quickly."

But no scandals, right, Mike?

"History" will allow his god a few mistakes, but NO scandals.

What I find most endearing about this post at all is the fact the word “bigly” was used. Otherwise, I don’t care what CFR or Joe Scarborough or any of them have to say. They, their network, and their cronies simply do not matter anymore.

“Obama = Black Jimmy Carter”

I think there is a real difference. Carter hates America, but I think he actually likes average Americans. Obama hates America, and white Americans.

I predict that history will see Libya as an even more egregious betrayal by Obama.

At the time Libya was a US ally in our nations fight against Islamo-fascism. Obama lead a coalition which destroyed the 8th wonder of world, the greening of the Southern Desert of Libya, by the Great Man Made River.

The capitol of our Ally, Tripoli, a once vibrant Mediterranean trade center now lies in rubble, and now the Islamo-fascist breed in Libya, and travel down into the heart of Africa to spread their killing of innocents in the name of Allah. Just as Obama intended.

Obama should be frog marched to the nearest federal prison, tried and convicted for treason and sedition IMHO. He is a war criminal.

Amazing that these clowns are admitting that Obama made a big mess of Syria. President Trump has a big clean up to do thanks to Obama.

OBAMA COMPLETELY FAILED ON FOREIGN POLICY AT EVERY LEVEL IN THE MIDDLE EAST!

His IDIOTIC embracement of the “arab spring” handed Egypt over the Muslim Brotherhood... only to be stopped by the Egyptian Military refusing to let the moron in the White House turn their nation over to Islamo Fundamentalists.

It absolutely destroyed Syria and ensure already Broken Iraq would become a failed state, and turned Libya into one!

There is NOTHING that moron did that was right remotely when it came to the middle east, not a damned thing... he was a failure... abject and complete failure... A guy without enough talent to play Intramural trying to play big leagues.... Present should never have been kind to Obama, Barry was out of his ability from the get go, and only perpetual cover up and spin by a complicit media propped his incompetent arse up

All because of the photos of children. Not to minimize the horror, but if Obama were pres and reacted to the photos with just words, the Dems would be fine with it. They are jumping on the emotional bandwagon -- just like they did after September 11, 2001 -- even as they plot their next political move.

Only that if they like it, either P-Trump was playing them, or it was bad for us.

Against gay marriage until polls showed he could win and be for gay marriage. Against chemical weapons until polls show he might take heat for backing up his red line (not by Americans but by the international community of globalists). The reality is that Obama has no courage. We did not have a commander and chief. We had a spokesperson as president. Obama never made a difficult decision in his life, preferring to not vote rather than take a tough vote in the Senate.

You don’t need the perspective of history to know that every single foreign policy decision of the 0bama regime was a catastrophe. It was obvious as it was happening.

"...JOE: And Mike, we can say this now that they are out of office..."

Well, that just about tells you all you need to know.

How can these MSM morons say stuff like this and then try to assert that they are impartial?

When the head of the Council on Foreign Relations says that Obama’s mishandling of Syria will be the “defining moment” of his presidency . . .

Amen......and take Susan Rice w/ him. This is how she describes her position in the Obama admin....its an outright confession:

”Rice provided the President with daily national security briefings and was ‘responsible for’ coordinating the formulation and implementation of ‘all aspects’ of the Administration’s foreign and national security policy, intelligence, and military efforts.

SOURCE: American University’s School of International Service describes Rice in her new job as a Distinguished Visiting Research Fellow; she will mentor SIS students on careers in national security.

Jimmy Carter graduated from the United States Naval Academy and served honorably in his country’s military.
