And Russian planes didn’t really bomb ISIS. They didn’t fly anywhere near ISIS territory. They bombed areas controlled by free Syrian rebels, the forces Obama is claiming he’s helping.

In other words, under the guise of anti-terrorism, Putin’s moving to bolster Syrian President Bashar Assad, the man Obama has been saying must go for the past three years.

Add this to other Obama diplomatic disasters: The unnecessarily abrupt troop pullout from Iraq that created another vacuum. The rise of ISIS, which never was a JV squad, spreading its terror tentacles to North Africa and beyond.

The failed training program for Syrian rebels.

The frayed relations with Egypt. The needless tensions with Israel. The disturbing diminution of the U.S. military.

The collapse of Yemen’s government to Iran-backed rebels, a struggle Obama touted as an anti-terrorism success story just months before. A half-billion dollars in U.S. military gear went missing in that collapse.

The emerging weaknesses of Afghan security forces that just lost the country’s sixth-largest city to several hundred Taliban fighters.

Oh, and the complex set of cave-ins to the mullahs in a deal that Obama still claims will prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons.

Obama has 476 days left until his White House lease expires. Clearly, it will take many times that long to repair and restore American power, prestige, standing and confidence.

Don’t worry Putin will get around to bombing ISIS too.

These unaffiliated rebels are still comrades in arms with ISIS, and groups of them have declared ISIS allegiance after receiving US support.

There are no good guys fighting in Syria, but Putin and Assad are far better than ISIS and affiliates.
