Since I don’t think arming ANY Islamic ‘rebel’ is a good idea, then the Syrian policy isn’t bad because it didn’t arm good jihadists before arming bad jihadists.
Arming them at all was stupid. Pretending they were better than Assad was stupid. Every single step of this president’s policy toward the middle east has been calculated to get muslim brotherhood type factions or sympathizers into power.
Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.
Occam’s Razor: Obama wants radical islamists in charge of middle eastern governments.
All good points.
You nailed it...Arming these “Syrian rebels” that are in fact radical jihadists (IS) was a huge mistake but poor little 0bama will not be criticized for anything, his ego bruises easily.
And then there’s his Egyptian fiasco with his muslim brotherhood buddies. 0bama must be incensed along with his MB advisers in the WH now that Egypt is eliminating the MB as a political faction. How sweet it is.
