However the UN is stuck when it comes to Syria. They can't get any resolutions passed by Russia and much of the world is very tepid in their support of the increasingly radical rebels.
So whoever is setting American foreign policy (Jarrett? Alexrod? Kerry?) is at a loss with no clear direction from outside. They think they want the rebels to win. They like over throwing long term dictators in the Middle East but they don't want to tick off Russia and they aren't sure how they feel about bombing Iranian soldiers who they know are operating in Syria.
Syria is simply none of our business...
The United States is not a military welfare program for the rest of the world.
The United States military personnel aren’t toy soldiers on a game board for the leftist internationale.’
The constant drumbeat in the Maoist media about Syria should be ringing alarm bells.
