I don't like Putin, but he was justified in scolding Obama.

"Do you know what you did?!!!"

The dems have to realize that the middle east is not solveable by writing a white paper. Mooslims have been killing innocents and each other for thousands of years.

It is also not 'solveable' by committing 100,000's of troops for an indefinite amount of time per the hawks either. This is not solely on Bush, and not solely Obama's fault or either Clinton's.

I don't know what the answer is, most options suck.

The middle east sucks. lol.

Every time we meddle there, however, we f*ck it up just a bit more. Hate to say it, but the region needs strong and brutal leaders to keep order amongst the two mooslim tribes. The Syria situation sits squarely on Obama and Hilldog. If we didn't take sides in the Syrian civil war and draw it out so much, maybe ISIS wouldn't have had the window of opportunity to step in.

It's really funny to say this, but Hillary Clinton really is a warmonger. I wonder if people are picking up on this.

More participation from other nations like Russia may not be a bad thing from the purely selfish perspective of saving American blood and treasure. Syria has been a Soviet/Russian client state for decades anyways. We can deal with the pernicious effects of Rooskie influence in the region later.

The "Surge", in Iraq, worked. Obama's removal of those troops, led to ISIS.

No one wants big numbers of troops over there for a long peropd of time. But it' sbetter to fight them there, than here. Better to figh tthem before they take out a city, than after. Correct?

At a high level, I think the "what" is obvious and not complex - we have to kill all the jihadists, and everyone helping them. The "how" is going to suck. But it has to be done. Obama has no stomach for this, all he cares about is getting the hell out of office with poll numbers that meet his satisfaction, he's not up for this.
