Ted Cruz and sane citizens have been saying that all along.

We know Assad is no angel but there are much worse who will likely end up in power if he’s gone.

And, Putin and Assad broadly smile. The old KGB tactic works. Again.

Sometimes what the enemy wants makes sense, for everyone.

Obama created ISIS.

No matter what congress says he will not kill his own creation.

Putin isn’t nearly as bad as Stalin, but we worked with Stalin to defeat Hitler. Do you believe we should not have allied with Stalin against Hitler?

Or maybe, alternatively, you think ISIS really isn’t that bad, all those ISIS massacres of Christians and other innocents don’t really matter. ?

Iran does want Assad to remain entrenched.

False dilemma. When Putin turns on Iran, then we can think of such things.

Such as the destruction of all Jews and the expedited return of the Mahdi?

If Assad outlasts Obama, it will be because Putin had the gonads to go in and defend Assad against the Obama/McCain jihadi terrorists.

No doubt, but especially for Assad and Putin.

So do Syria’s Christians, because he has defended them against jihadi killers.

Of course. I implied all those things. Each and every one.

Benghazi was gun running weapons of mass destruction to the Sunni Muslims terrorists.

I’m just holding you to a single standard. If you think we can’t ally with Putin because he’s evil, then how much worse was it to ally with Stalin. Maybe consistency isn’t your strong point?
