President Barack Obama would seek to overthrow the regime of Bashar al-Assad if American planes were attacked upon entering Syrian air space, Peter Baker of The New York Times reports.
If Assad's troops fired at American planes entering Syrian airspace, "Obama said he would order American forces to wipe out Syria’s air defense system," Baker reports. "He went on to say that such an action by Mr. Assad would lead to his overthrow, according to one account."

What if American planes were attacked by Russian planes? Didn't Putin say that American planes entering Syrian air space was an act of war. The question is how will Putin respond to Obama's blunders.
The Saudi's must really be putting the squeeze on their puppets in Washington...
The Bible states that Damascus will be a ruinous heap that not even wild animals would inhabit...
We invade Syria, Syria launches a massive chemical attack against Washington D.C. and maybe a few other cities and we respond by nuking Damascus.
God's word fulfilled.
We live in utterly amazing times!
Who would overthrow Bashir, not OdumBO?
“He went on to say that such an action by Mr. Assad would lead to his overthrow, according to one account.”
Whoever plans to overthrow Assad will have to go through the Russians first. Putin will not let his port in Syria go without a fight.
Wish this clown would just SHUT UP and GO AWAY.
Yep and now it is guaranteed one of our jets will be shot out of the sky. Of course it won’t be by Assad yet msm will tell all it was Assad thus the word will be we must get rid of him he shot down a US jet.
Obama will have a presser all sad, maybe even have the photo-op of him next to the casket.
The Oil Pipeline War. Obama is everything the progressives hate. Blood for Oil. And the dupes still kiss his but.
Brilliant Barry, way to put the US in a no-win situation.
And we're threatening to destroy the air defenses of a sovereign nation. Boy, I wish we had a constitutional scholar as president, someone who knew that Congress must be involved in such decisions.
By the way, may I ask why you picked Parley Baer as your screen name? I'm a fan of old-time radio, and Baer was quite popular there (as was one of my favorites, Howard McNear). Interesting how both ended up on the Andy Griffin Show.
That was truly stupid. If he’s trying to give Russia an oblique nyanyanya he’s blown it.
My first thought. Blah blah blah. The boy who cried wolf. Who listens to this thinly disguised islamist?
Didn’t congress have to give approval in Libya after the limit in the war powers act (30 or 60 days?)?
The target is Assad. Only. ISIS was always just a tool.
Wet streets cause rain. The muslim bizarro is just getting warmed up.
More isis everywhere.
soetoro’s objective.
He will provoke an incident.
He can say he first learned about it in the newspapers.
That will make Assad's intel just as good as little bammy's.
