Just when the Obama administration finally starts talking about establishing a no-fly zone over Syria, Russias president Vladimir Putin sends the Assad regime the means to shoot U.S. planes down. There are competing strategies at work: leading from behind versus up yours, America.

Isn’t it interesting the timing of this new no-fly zone?
Israel may need to take military action, and all of a sudden there’s a real need for a no-fly zone.
Could Obama be any more transparent?

Really, does anyone actually listen to (and believe) anything coming of the Obamadork’s pie hole?
Besides our press, I mean.

Assad is a Russian ally and has told Obama many times that sending the rebels arms will only make the war grow.
It's a civil war...very different from Iraq or Afghanistan.
Kaddafhi also warned us about arming the rebels in their country. How'd that turn out?
To: Abakumov
psst....putins missles are defense.
To: Abakumov
To: Abakumov
the missles make the no fly zone easy for Assad to enforce.

Putin's missiles are defense. Not in the hands of Hamas or Hezballah they aren't.

“Israel may need to take military action, and all of a sudden theres a real need for a no-fly zone.”
Israel has been launching cruise missiles and glide bombs from Lebanese territory. The no-fly would need to include Lebanon.
If the US flies planes over the very latest Russian interceptors we will lose planes. Flying over Syria is insane.

We may well be backing the wrong guys—again! For all his faults—the tyrant didn’t kill Christians.
To: Abakumov
Is this what Obama was talking about when he said he might have more flexibility after the election?
Or is this the result of having a small time community organizer in the ring with world class leaders?
Our little chickadee is trying to compete with eagles and vultures.

Obviously, Obama will expect Putin to be “flexible,” and thus allow unlimited numbers of Obamadrones to “be employed” in Syria - - - - .

We are backing the Presidents party, the Muslim Brotherhood. Any American who makes the mistake of thinking this is about good guys vs bad guys and kills some Muslim Brother Hood guys dies quickly in accidents.
See seal team Six, Benghazi, and the two cops that shot the Boston Marathon bomber.
The circle of death around Obama is a Muslim one.

You have to admit that bending over backwards takes a lot of flexability. Our president is great at bending over.
