In other circumstances I’d be happy to see Assad replaced.
But we chose as our proxies Al Qaeda, and Al Qaeda In Iraq.
And they have been systematically slaughtering Christians from the beginning. So it becomes impossible for any American to support this war.
It didn’t have to be this way, but through Obama’s sheer malevolent incompetence he has made it impossible to support the overthrow of Assad.
These proxies are our Frankenstein monsters. We have a responsibility to put them down like mad dogs. Trump has promised in essence to wipe out Al Qaeda In Iraq (ISIS), and let the Russians and Syrians deal with Al Qaeda In Syria. Too bad this leaves Assad in power, but if our brilliant plan was to replace him with genocidal monsters it is a plan that needs to fail.
Excellent post. Agreed. And our own Sen. McCain was gleefully posing with those monsters including Abu Bakr.
