There is nothing in the Middle East worth spending one US dollar on, or having one GI dying for. We are destroying our country with our incompetent foreign policy.

Obama created the refugee crisis in the first place with his civil war plan to oust Assad.
It’s all obviously part of his ME plan to institute a caliphate by removing all secular & Christian leaderships from power. Thus, he has decided Assad must go; thing is, his tactics have been non- or covert-involvement, and now he has to face open warfare with a real military.
