An example of Obummer leading from behind, take credit for the good stuff, ISIS being defeated(if it happens), ignoring the bad stuff, Russia and Iran in charge in Syria.

The Saudis have tons of weapons but the big questions is how competent are it's troops and even bigger question is whether they will fight, cut and run or switch sides.

ISIS took over much of Iraq from an Iraqi army with 800 hard core fighters. The Iraqi army cut and ran and now ISIS owns thousands of American up armored Humvees and armored vehicles, howitzers and all of the other sophisticated we gave the Iraqi a army.

Some of this was planned as Iraqi Army officers owed more allegiance to the Muslim Brotherhood and their colleagues in the Army who fled to Syria when Saddam fell and who were leading the insurgency in Iraq during Bush era and who became players in ISIS’s attempt to take over Syria when they failed to re take Iraq.

The Muslim Brotherhood is very strong and well organized and fund in Saudi Arabia and the they have been trying to oust the current Royal Family since the days of Bin Laden in the 1990’s

They represent a very real 5th column threat to the Saudi’s and they could cut and run just like the Iraqis did, leaving all of their American fire power behind for Iran,Russia and Syria.

This is the danger we face due to President Obama’s Middle East disasters. The Obama Administration has publicly stated that they see Iran as their major ally in the region and the linch pin of Obama's policy in the region. Now we see what that policy is all about.

I doubt he cares, and I suppose Syria occupied by Russia and Iran run by puppet Assad would increase local security. No reason Russia and Iran couldn't split Iraq.

He’s very vindictive.

I wonder, is Putin’s alliance with Iran in Syria a step towards the path of dismembering Turkey and the conquest of Byzantium, the seat of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

That would be nice. Along with seeing Erdogan's head on a pike.

Isn't Syria still at war with Israel?
Doesn't Obama hate Israel?
Is it an over simplification to connect the dots?

[Nachum]

Not an oversimplification to see that Russia and Iran are moving large numbers of well trained well armed troops into Syria-

Right next to Israel.
