In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina chastised the Obama administration, calling its response, or lack thereof, to Russian aggression in Syria, “weak” and willfully naïve. “We must be prepared to use force,” declared Fiorina in a hawkish response to Russian airstrikes in the central city of Homs this week that have transformed the geopolitical calculus in the region.

“..Assad is the only option that leaves any Christians in Syria...”
For what it’s worth, MOST people do not realize this. The estimates I heard recently as to potential Christians at risk if Assad falls, is in the tens of thousands for starters to which you could add Jews as well. This is indeed a complex situation. And we know Obama has NO INTEREST in any of it.
Thanks for that great info!! She was a McAmnesty Clone!
