Thanks for the explanation.
The whole thing is bizarre to say the least.... it is as if the Obama administration prefers ISIS to exist and establish a caliphate in both Syria and Iraq rather than for Assad to remain in power.
Assad might be a bad dictator but look, under him for many years, Christians and other religious sects were allowed to exist and worship without fear of being put to death. Under ISIS, they are being exterminated.
From the Muslim Brother hood to deposing Khadafi in Libya to Syria, it seems that Obama is putting his lot with the worst of the worst.
That is EXACTLY it! You nailed it!
Besides what inevitable National Threat is Assad in Syria to the United States?
Why should U.S. Troops troops become cannon fodder, maimed and die so that we can get remove Saudi Arabia’s enemies in the Middle East?
The entire situation is crazy. Besides we are broke too.
What is going to happen to future American generations?
