It would be more accurate to say Obama and the Socialist DemoRats haven't defended Christians, that's who is supporting and arming "Arab Spring rebels" (read ISIS terrorists) that Assad has to fight through to get to Christians. Again "rebel" (terrorists), armed by HomoFacista Hillary Clinton and HomoMuerto Christopher Stevens.
He’s lost half the country.
Big surprise, there, along with the inability to protect Christians.
And Syria in turn, helped bomb the Marine Barracks in Lebanon.
On orders from Islamist Iran, which exists because Communist DemoRat Jimmah Carter delivered a free Iran with freedom of religion for Jews, Christians and Muslims, to the Communists by supporting an insurrection and coup of the Shah's government.
They, Assad, dumped Al Qaeda prisoners in Iraq to fight the US.
Are these the ones who assassinated Nasser, Sadat, or the attempts on Mubarak? Assad can not possibly support terrorists worse than the terrorists than Obama and the Socialist DemoRats support and arm, they don't exist.
Let us not kid ourselves. The choice is ISIS or Assad with nukes like Iran with Russia. Coming to think of it, Saddam with nukes or IsIS idiots, I’d rather neutralize the interconinental ballistic threat.
