Assad of Syria *is* making an effort - he’s even had permission to strike with aircraft against ISIS within Iraq. Yet, Obama and Kerry persist in the notion that Assad needs to be taken out. Why, really, why?
That’s because Obama is an enemy of the state (US). There are only two explanations IMO
1. Obama is a hopeless idealist and backs rebel uprisings against dictators (”the man”) and is just a dumn fool
2. Obama intentionally wants terrorists to control the middle east.
If I had to pick I would say it is #1. I don’t think Obama is serious or competent enough to get involved in #2. But regardless of WHY he is doing it he is an enemy of the state.
