exactly.

This fairy has appointed so many homosexuals in the higher echelons of the Pentagon and the military that it would take a lot to remove all of this crap.

it is a religious civil war
Sunni Islam vs Shiite Islam
In addition here are various religious sects within each of the 2 main religious factions.

In other words, nothing to do with us. We don’t have a ‘side’ in this war. Both sides, all sides are one version of ISLAM or the other. Only Muslims need to take a side here.

Shoot who?
Whose side are we on? Sunni or Shiite? Or one of the various smaller offshoot religious sects?

Exactly why the A-10s are on the ground. Can’t shoot the allies of the current administration.

I think Ashton took a crash course over a stutterers anonymous. His initial roll-out by 0bama was insanely embarrassing.

“Why do we care which side wins?”

Because of geopolitics. The Obama administration sees Russia as a prime strategic threat. Anything that diminishes Russia is good. Anything that enhances Russian influence is bad.

Same thing happened in Afghanistan. The Saudis, with US support, recruited, trained, armed Jihadists from all over the world to come and fight the USSR. So now we are supporting the Saudi proxies in Syria, to fight Russia’s ally Assad.

exactly.
I have no doubt that she has no love for the homosexual group, but will use them as support.

We need someone to turn all of this mental illness crap away and be done with.

“So why do we want the Saudis to win?”

As a means of weakening Russia. For example, the Saudis and Qataris would like to build a pipeline through Syria, to Turkey and the Mediterranean, that will transport natural gas from the Gulf to Europe, much more easily and economically than the present means at their disposal. This would have the effect of undercutting Russian exports of natural gas to Europe, further undermining the Russian economy.

Assad, dependent as he is on Russian support, has nixed this pipeline project. So as far as the Saudis are concerned, Assad has to go. They want to install someone in power there who will be amenable to Saudi interests.

The Obama Administration naturally supports the Saudi project, because anything that further undermines the Russian economy is cool with them.

That is one reason the Administration wants the Saudis to win. Also, the Administration does not want Russia to extend its influence in the Middle East. The Saudis will kick the Russian henchman (Assad) out.

We’re still at war in a war Obama said he ended after he pulled all the troops out and said he won’t have any “boots on the ground?”
