The problem is that nobody understands what the Obama doctrine is to include the Obama administration.
He is all hat and no cattle and the world knows it. There is no predictability, rhyme, or reason. In fact, the rest of the world sees what you and I do, that our stated goals contradict our strategic goals - i.e. - we are supporting AQ and the Brotherhood. The same people who attack us.
“we are supporting AQ and the Brotherhood. The same people who attack us.”
I don’t know if you can say we’re supporting al qaeda. But Obama’s clearly supports MB in Egypt.
Folks keep missing the obvious. Barry didn’t punt to Congress because he had a change of heart or a sudden belief in the Constitution...
The war in Syria is a proxy war between the US/Saudis/Israel and Russia/Iran. The war is not over if Congress says no. It can’t be. Right or wrong, the future of America is tied to the outcome there. Our economy is in shambles, and military might is going to be used to keep the empire going.
In punting to Congress, Obama just admitted defeat to Putin and the Arab world. It is a foreign policy disaster which exposes the US as weak. It will embolden those who wish us ill. History will look back on this as a key moment in our unraveling.
Don’t get me wrong, I dont believe in war with Syria. But to give Obama praise for backing down is extremely naive. Europe is dependent on Russian gas... when we are weak, they inch closer to Russian orbit. Likewise with Egypt, they are falling into the Russian camp because Obama is making us into the loser on the world stage.
it is sad to see people fooled by Obamas sudden change of heart. He used to Constitution to save his own rear end, not out of respect for it. And the war will continue, guaranteed.
