The rebels were depending on Obama and he sold them out. They should try getting an ally with balls. France maybe. If only they had seen what Obama did to our health care system they would have looked elesewhere

Getting back to Obama's foreign relations policies....

The Rebels are screwed. Obama has a website to fix and electables to protect. Syrians have better health care though...what are they griping about?

I thought libertarians opposed foreign military intervention.

I'm glad O "sold out" FSA. Except for - he sent too much money to FSA before he made a decision to stand down, I think this is O's only positive FP accomplishment. IMO - he's handled the Syria situation pretty well.

I think it had more to do with Russia and China and the possibility of a military standoff with Syrias allies.

That said, intervening in Syria isn't a great idea.

I agree but Russia & China we're stalling until O began strike posturing. They realized he had cornered himself with the red line promise & had no other choice but compromise. O maybe stumbled into this but.. I'm still giving him the W on this one.

All these sorts of things should be worked through via the UN. Noone should take international law into their own hands.

Don't forget what happened to Paul on the road to Damascus.

Working through the UN is like trying to get legislation through Congress.

I'll agree with you, but I wonder why we are still wasting men and money in Afganastan? Thought we were getting out. My son in law deploys in February 2014 for 9 months in Afganastan.

What can we possibly accomplish there?

I believe "if you broke it, you bought it".

People might not agree with it - but I think if you knock over the government of a country and destroy its infrastructure, you sort of owe it to the people there to sort it out.
