A real nice way to provoke Putin into a war which he will win.
Neocon warmongers. Overthrow Assad and create a new vacuum into which radical jihadi’s will flow. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Or perhaps the results we have gotten are exactly the results these people want.
We’re far too compromised to project power abroad.
ISIS was a Turk/Saudi/State Department operation. They have now become an embarrassment, so they are trying to shape them with pin-prick attacks and helping Iran.
Plan B is to throw support to the Syrian “rebels” who self-identify as Al Qaeda.
So they want redux times three. Egypt, then Libya and now Syria.... Hillary would be so proud this will help Obama's ISIL (really ISIS) and all the America-hating rebels infest themselves everywhere in the Mideast except Israel (who the State Department wants destroyed.
They all should be lined up against a stone wall and asked if they want a blindfold or a last cigarette.
The entire purpose of removing Assad is for the Saudis to be able to build a pipeline to Europe. That is why they have funded the various jihadist opposition groups that our government likes to call moderates. Our government is just doing the bidding of their Saudi masters.
Graham, Rubio, and McCain were photographed meeting with those “moderates”, which became ISIS.
Because regime change worked so well in Iraq and Libya
This from the same inept folks who have helped turn our entire foreign policy and standing in the world into an unbelievable disaster. Their failures are only exceeded by their ignorance and incompetence. A recommendation from this crowd in a compelling reason NOT to do it.
The US would be better off ceasing operations at Foggy Bottom for the next 18 months.
This will provide a good place to start the house-cleaning for President Trump.
50 Obama appointed Muslims at the State Dept. want strikes on Assad
Obama already surrendered in this war

Trying to take Assad out is why we created ISIS in the first place.
Not anxious to have the rest of the world know their names, are they?
Not to worry, Guccifer 3 will hack 'em and forward their monikers to the ICC for future reference.
Are there any Syrians left for Assad to oppress?
I guess the state dept. wants more soldiers in Europe and the United states to hasten the coming caliphate /sarc puke.

Dozens of U.S. Diplomats, in Memo, Urge Strikes Against Syria’s Assad

Why?
Because our meddling, our Arab Spring, and our other clumsy nation building has been so successful?
Assad may not be a nice guy but the terrorists he is fighting are the same terrorists Obama is pretending to fight but secretly arming.
...because “regime change” and nation building worked so well for them in Libya!
The only good in the Syrian hubbub over the last 5 years is that every day a couple hundred beheaders die.
