Obama is determined to boot Assad out so he can add Syria to the new Islamic Caliphate.

Thank you Senator Cruz. A few days late methinks but, as expected, right on the mark.

The Only Grown Up in the Room.

The best plan I have heard from anyone about this mess all day.

Putin will probably take care of ISIS after he wipes out the jihadis that Obama armed to go after Assad.

RATS historically like toput our troops in harm’s way without any thought for how they can win.

Of course, the not so secret strategy is to funnel ISIS towards Assad. That is Obamas only goal, going as his Sunni masters tell him to do.
If ISIS goes towards another rebel group, they get bombed. If they go towards Syrian army, they are left alone.
The plan is for ISIS to topple Assad, then we turn on ISIS, and let our own “moderate” jihadis take over.

That’s how insane our government has become.

Once again Cruz displays that he is the adult in the room on Foreign Policy.

Obama wants the Muslim brotherhood in charge of Syria, and Trump wants to be buddies with Putin.
Both positions are unacceptable.

Since it appears that Trump is going to be the nominee whether I like it or not, I sure hope he doesn’t truly believe that negotiating over land to build something is comparable to negotiating with Putin.
Putin makes those guys look like Girl Scouts. He will bomb, and kill a whole village of people, and have the KGB remove your genitals all while smiling at you across the table, and professing his love for the American people.

Our original proposed entry was because of chem weapons. But Russia got Assad to give them up. The US did the removal. We should have left it at that.

Now remember, Khadafi also gave his up years earlier....and we left him alone....back then.

But here comes Obama and opens Pandora's box in the ME.... Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Syria.

Obama is nuts.

Iraq has asked Russia for help.

Don't kid yourself. Iran wants to rule Iraq.

That is so why we need Ted Cruz. He is a mature adult with great diplomacy.

Yup. Basically the same thing he was saying 6 months ago.

He is sounding like Trump. A little common sense. We should not have one soldier get in the middle of this mess. Putin will do the job and we can watch for a change.

Pretty obvious isn’t it.

As a bonus, they get to send millions of refugees to EUROPE and America.

Grand Strategy conducted against the people’s of the West.

Trump has been out on the stump saying this exact same thing about staying out of Syria almost every day he is out and about. Are he and Cruz coordinating or do they just think very much alike on a lot of issues, or both?
