Assad is Baathist, just like Saddam Hussein, who waged war against Valerie Jarrett’s Iran for years. I get the feeling that Obama is trying to clear the deck for Iran to dominate the Middle East region. Anybody else think that is so?

ISIS is simply a group of useful idiots to weaken the other Muslim nations, leaving an easy clean-up for Iran when they want to march in and dominate. Just trying to make sense of the fog and Obama lack of response.

It does look that way. ISIS is doing Iran's dirty work right now destablizing Iraq, Jordan and maybe Saudi Arabia as well as keeping the Kurds busy.

When Iran's ready, they will ride to the rescue to dominate Iraq and turn ISIS into a grease spot.

that is exactly what is going on. The horrible thing is nobody is stopping them

"I get the feeling that Obama is trying to clear the deck for Iran to dominate the Middle East region."

Baathist is the political party that Assad belongs to but he is an Alawite in regards to religion. The Alawites are twelvers and are closely aligned with Shias which is what the Persian/Iranians are. In other words, Assad is an ally of Syria so Iran does not want to see Assad fall.

The hardest part of Team Obama’s job is trying to come up with the PHONY REASONS they give us for what they say or do. If they all told us the TRUTH they’d all be HATED by just about everyone.
