Good article. The liberal media certainly won’t bring up the possibility that obama is on the wrong side.

Assad may not be a good guy but may be the best option.

Christians have been protected in Syria under Assad. And the Assad government certainly hasn’t behaved as extremists like obama’s new pals in Iran.

Agreed on all points

And the Russians stand to make some real gains in the ME now... which we basically just handed to them.

Christians in Iraq were protected under Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist government, too.

There are still a lot of people here on FreeRepublic who don't want to admit that.

But we (Obama) has such wonderful success in fomenting regime change in the middle east! Remember Iran’s Youth Revolt early in his tenure? Egypt! Libya! Why not Syria?

We must tear down any traditional Muslim-leaning established government in relative peace and create strife and Change! Support the rebels. Hell, support a whole cadre of rebels....it worked out so well with Afghanistan of the 80s didn’t it?
