First, any chance that Americans as people would support this war died when our proxies started slaughtering Christians. The Turks may not care, the State Department may not care, but ordinary Americans simply will not abide this.
It would not have been that hard, when we were recruiting, arming, training, and financing the jihadists, to make it plain to any and all, Turks, Saudis, jihadists alike, that if you want our support you must protect every hair on the head of any Christians you find in your midst, for we are a Christian country. If you want our support, you must protect Christians among you...
... and if you don’t, we will abandon you and rain fire down on your heads. How hard would that have been? For a normal president, not hard. For Obama, of course, impossible. But the day their Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda In Iraq proxies started committing genocide on our dime any chance that Americans would support them was gone. So Trump is going to wipe out Al Qaeda In Iraq (ISIS) and Al Qaeda in Syria we will abandon to the Syrians and the Russians.
“...if you want our support you must protect every hair on the head of any Christians you find in your midst, for we are a Christian country.”
I like it, but didn’t Barry go around a while back telling the world we were NOT a Christian nation? Made my blood boil.
My sentiments exactly.
I would add, at the top of the list, Obama didn't care.
