.....Obama is constructing a strategy for an increasingly complex war he never wanted to enter. And allies in the region are skeptical....
The reluctance of crucial countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia exposes a big flaw in Obama's plan: He can't "degrade and destroy" ISIS without going into Syria but the U.S. can't beat ISIS in Syria without a ground force....
"The U.S. and the West have avoided the Syrian conflict for two years, essentially permitting the conditions that spawned ISIS," said Clint Watts, counterterrorism expert at the Foreign Policy Institute.
The Obama administration's nominal partner on the ground in Syria is the Free Syrian Army, which Obama has repeatedly disregarded as "an opposition made up of former doctors, farmers, pharmacists, and so forth."

People in Syria have the guts to say what the American "objective" media won't: Obama helped create the menace that is ISIS.
For all the supposed hatred the Arab Street had for George W. Bush, I don't recall the Arab people saying Bush created terrorists who were killing other Arabs....
Perhaps our “Middle East allies” know more about Obama than we ourselves do.
Only thing they got wrong is the poster shows the imposter working.
The problem with Obama’s plan is....Obama. Hesimply cannot be trusted, he want to be on both sides of this and go with and take credit for the winner.
Obama created, Obama approved.
Wait until Obama hears about this. Nobody is madder than him, I tell ya! Heads will roll!
‘You have nothing to fear from an Obama Presidency’.
That does look like a green he’d be partial too.
And yeah, they are right about him.
someone told me that this picture was not true. If not who is it.

I’m inclined to think that Obama (and McCain and others, Dems and GOP) got it wrong in supporting overthrow of Assad by the “Arab Spring” uprisings.
Recall that Obama supported the overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt. We got the Muslim Brotherhood rearming Hamas and killing Copts until fortunately the military took over again.
Obama supported the overthrow of Qaddafi in Libya. We got Benghazi and now Islamic anarchy. “Democracy” in Gaza gave us Hamas.
The military and monarchist dictatorships, including the Assad regime, appear to be more protective of Christians and other religious minorities and leaving their people alone, as long as they don’t rise up in opposition. “Popular uprisings” in Islamic societies do not appear to lead to more tolerance and freedom.
Woe be to Israel and the West if we allow overthrow of the Kings and Emirs in Jordan and the Arabian peninsula.
Note that date... That is January 10, 2014...
...and here we are.
None of this Shi’ite would be happening if Sadam was left be.
OMG! It’s dumb, dumber and dumbest!
