Can you imagine Reagan claiming the Dems were goading him into a proxy war?

"Following the publication on 30 August of the U.S. Government Assessment of the Syrian Government’s Use of Chemical Weapons on August 21, 2013, President Obama gave a speech in the White House rose garden on 31 August in which he announced that he would seek authorization from Congress before using American military forces to intervene in the Syrian civil war.[33] In the speech, he announced that he was "prepared to give that order," referring to ordering a strike on Syria.[33] Obama argued that it was necessary to intervene because the recent chemical weapons attack in Syria "risks making a mockery of the global prohibition on the use of chemicals weapons" and that it put U.S. regional allies that share a border with Syria in danger.[34] In his speech, Obama also said that, "while I believe I have the authority to carry out this military action without specific congressional authorization, I know that the country will be stronger if we take this course, and our actions will be even more effective."[34] Introduction of S.J. Res. 21 in the Senate soon followed."

Obama wants the US as far away from this as possible. With the US in the crosshairs, ISIS can’t move as fast as they are.

Follow the Saudi money and see which politicians want Obama to do something about Syria. That’s the Sunni connection in the Shiite vs Sunni war for who claims the caliphate.
