Leading from behind meaningless red lines has its consequences. Obama is a POS president and a pathetic narcissist as a person. The arab spring has been a most deadly season. Thanks Valerie.
Remember that the whole Syrian “civil war” was started by His Arrogance, Benghazi Clinton, and the rest of the NWO rat pack through NGOs, false flag operations and the support of the Saudis.
Excellent Frontline program on “The Rise of ISIS” this week - does a good job of unraveling the Sunni-Shiite maze - and comes down hard on Obama’s contribution to the mess in the mid-east - Bush’s surge in Iraq had stabilized the country pretty well, with more moderate Sunni leaders pacified with lots of money and the promise of power in the new government led by Shiite Maliki - the more radical Sunni including a lot of Saddam’s old guard were driven north into Syria - then Obama pulled all our troops out of Iraq and on the day Maliki was in Washington to celebrate the great event he received a call telling him that a Sunni plot to assassinate him had been uncovered (most probably a setup) - he shared the news with Obama, who replied that all countries had their problems and had to handle them the best way they could - Maliki took this as a signal that the US would not interfere in anything he did, and his drive to purge the government and army of Sunni influence began (fueled by the fear that without our influence in Iraq a Sunni civil war, led by Saddam’s old forces, would drive him from power) - the Sunni population saw the promise of power-sharing evaporate and rebelled, bringing brutal reprisals from Maliki, and ISIS, led by battle-hardened veterans of Saddam’s army, was off and running - virtually to a man those involved in the Obama administration who had tried to deal with the situation felt that he had mishandled it - as then Defense Secretary Panetta said at one point “I respected the decision because he was the commander-in-chief, but I thought it was wrong” - and someone else observed “There were some phone calls to be sure, but no one saw the administration do anything to help or hurt Maliki in what he was doing” - and this from PBS - catch it if you can......
