He’s right.
Obama has created chaos in the Mideast - Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Syria have been turned on their heads. I have no idea what his policy on ISIS is. With him in charge, calling for intervention is absolutely nuts.
Assad is the least bad option there is. If the Russians want to fight ISIS with their own troops, let them.
True that. But Bush II also played a huge role in this debacle. Bush naively believed that once he removed a dictator (Saddam) the Arab street would rush to embrace democracy, much like a Vermont farmer would have after the Revolutionary war.
That was more than just naive. It was irresponsible, and it has lead to much of the chaos we see today.
I will now retreat to my underground bunker, as I'm sure I'll be getting incoming fire from W's apologists.
