We are in Syria because of Obama’s Arab Spring and John MCCaine and Lindsey Graham’s creation of ISIS to destroy Assad and take his oil the best I can discern. We are in Jordan because of Bush’s war on terror. Never left.

I believe that we’re in Syria to take out Assad, but the rest is a little different. Europe gets the vast majority of their gas from Gazprom in Russia. We want to stop that. There have been big gas discoveries in the middle east, but to get that gas to Europe, it has to go through a pipeline that crosses Syria. Putin being friends with Assad means that Assad isn’t going to allow it. So, Assad has to go.
