No, I think Obama suspects they are Russian bombers on their way to bomb Mr Obama’s terrorists of choice ISIS in support of Assad.
I refuse to fully buy into our governments claim that Assad is the bad guy in this mess.
Most of the Christian Iraqis that fled Iraq because of the war there went to Syria. They knew Assad’s government offered protection for Christians. Also, Syria hasn’t been as extremist muzzie as most of the nation’s over there. The women are treated much better.
Obama and his regime were on the wrong side in Egypt and Libya. Why should I believe obama is on the right side this time?
Obama’s thin red lines in the sand mean nothing. The Russians will likely ignore him.
If you ever get the chance watch Assad’s interview with Charlie Rose on YouTube. Here are a couple of highlights:
On Saudi Arabia: Wahabbist nutjobs (paraphrasing)
On Turkey and Erdogan, “He thinks he’s the new Sultan.”

Assad was never the murdering, disgusting hordes like ISIS, that Obama wanted us to think he is.
We should have been helping Assad’s troops from the beginning against those creatures from hell.
And I think the best thing to happen to Egypt is the election that put Sisi in charge. I feel he was a perfect choice at this time. He appears to be reasonable, something lacking elsewhere in that troubled area.
