Obama: Would be a 'mistake' to send troops to Syria
Yahoo Finance ^ | November 16,2015 | Fred Imbert

President Barack Obama said Monday that sending troops into Syria to fight ISIS would be a "mistake," but not allowing Syrian refugees into the United States would betray American values.

Obama reaffirmed the need to accept refugees from Middle East war zones who are flooding into Europe.

"At the same time, all of our countries have to ensure our security, and as president, my first priority is the safety of the American people," he said. "Even as we accept more refugees — including Syrians — we do so only after subjecting them to rigorous screenings and security checks. We also have to remember that many of these refugees are the victims of terrorism; that's why they're fleeing."

The mistake happened in Nov 2008 and was repeated in Nov 2012. Our stupid, stupid fellow Americans had their heads in the sand and did not do everything hey could to end this assclown’s reign.

Obama is afraid of hurting his BFFs - namely the muslim extremists.

Pay attention to just HOW MUCH the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY HATES CHRISTIANS !

This stinking piece of crap that's defiling our Oval Office is importing the Radical Islamists that will kill us.
When will congress get the guts to IMPEACH, CONVICT and EXECUTE that ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF ? Also, don't forget this: I'll bet the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY are intending on EVERY ONE OF THEM to be used for importing a RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST !

UNHCR data confirms it: 75% of the so-called refugees arriving in Europe are MEN.

Obama may be the most visible of the Muslim plants in our government to date along with Huma and ValJar.

Let’s fight them here. Pure insanity. Bush was right to take the war to them. This bastard invites our enemies in to (maybe) fight them here. Evil, anti-American bastard.

Even the gay ones? Then what was all the crap about them having the right to die for their country?

I cannot stand Obama, but do Freepers think we should send troops to Syria? Even a stopped clock ...

No one ever said anything about Syria except you Odumbo?

Ho about you leave Russian allies to Russia and American allies to America?

Admit your mistakes in Iraq, clear ISIS from Anbar and reinforce the Kurds to the North. Let Putin handle Syria.

I kind of agree.

It is, however, a BIGGER mistake to bring Syria here.

Yes, it will be a mistake, because after he lets all these refugees in we will need them to fight in our cities.

Don’t send troops to Syria. Send them to Northern Iraq and as Russia pushes ISIS south, pick them off at the border.

Not freaking rocket science.

A much bigger mistake at this point is to continue to support the wrong side. We should be doing everything we could to be SUPPORTING Bashar al-Assad, right alongside the Russians.

Assad may be a gold-plated SOB on the order of Saddam Hussein, but whoever would replace him would be infinitely worse. There are no “moderate” Muslims in this conflict.

The genie is out of the bottle, and there will be hell to pay stuffing it back in. The only way out is through to the other side.

In no way can Obama be sincere in saying that it would be a mistake to send troops into Syria now. He would not say this in 2017 if asked what a Republican POTUS should or shouldn’t do.

Wait! I thought last week these fools said they were putting special forces troops into Syria.

Most of us called these poor troops sent to slaughter as human shields for ISIS or the Syrian Rebels.
