YES... Without a doubt.
The Saudi's and Qatari's have paid them HUGE amounts of money to buy Syria, and they expect returns for that cash, even if Hillary loses.
Nuclear chicken between a Nobel Peace Prize winner and Putin?
God help us.
I think Obama wants to lose a ton of military assets, pilots included.
He’s trying to find an aspirin factory to bomb to distract from the election, and try to find a reason to cancel the election.
The U.S. et al will not be granted any military options (congress or not), unless officially requested & approved by the Syrian government. Then can be considered, by the U.S., congress, et al.
Syria, like Iraq and Libya (that were messed up), is a sovereign nation. The U.S. et al have no right to be in Syria, or Syrian airspace.
No more overt or covert operations (ISIS and so forth).
Best to stay out and deal with problems within the U.S., itself.
There won’t be a war with Russia. Putin is way to much of a pussy to ever engage the U. S. Military. Look at the countries he attacks and bullies. All much smaller and not able to fight back.
“One alternative, U.S. officials said, is allowing allies to provide U.S.-vetted rebels with more sophisticated weapons, although not shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, which Washington fears could be used against Western airliners.”
Vetted to be on our side, but we worry they might shoot down western airliners in terror attacks. That about says it all.
I wonder what’s available at Red Box?, said the American people.
US officials pretend they are fighting "Islamic State", while at the same time supporting them to remove Assad so the EU/USD can loot Russian assets brokered through Syria (like they did in Libya) ?
..BIZARRE !
Iran (RT NEWS) deploys warships to Yemen.
(All rich off of Kerry and the gang.)
Amazing how silent the anti war protesters are when they are dropping bombs!
Speaking of shoulder-fired missiles.... did the Obama regime ever tell us what happened to Ghadafi’s 20,000 Manpads that went missing?
The ones that they now claim they don’t want the “rebels” (human-heart-eating Islamists possessed by demons and promising to come for America once they’ve finished off Syria...) to have because they could be used to down commercial planes?
20,000 commercial airplanes downed would be serious doo-doo. Gee, too bad those Manpads got “lost”...
Gonna try to leave the next Prez on the brink of war?
‘Some top officials argue the United States must act more forcefully in Syria or risk losing what influence it still has ...’
If they want influence, they should quit worrying about all the bribe money they raked in to take out Assad!
Assad is an enemy of ISIS. Assad is a secularist who allowed Christians to live peacefully in his land.
So if Obama wants influence, get on board with the only sane policy that remains: Russia’s policy.
We left Iraq, and now our influence is lost, broken.

“As President of the United States I am through my executive powers as the President of the United States officially ordering that a red line be drawn on all maps of Syria effective immediately. Do not cross the official red line or I will be forced to draw another red line and pretty soon your country’s map will look like a red checkerboard!”
