Exposed: The Obama Invasion of Syria

[Minimalist]

The long and short of it is the US's core interest had always been to secure the survival of Assad regime in Syria, and the Mubrarak regime in Egypt. Both the short term and the long term interests of US relied on it. Hilary royally fucked up both.

A difficult situation, though. Yes, Mubarak was our boy for a long time but to yoke us to an 80 year old cancer victim seems like a losing hand. Then there was the whole problem of running our fucking mouths about how wonderful "democracy" is to a bunch of people who think "majority rules" means they can slaughter their opposition. We should be thankful they didn't think they could eat them, too.

Assad was a touchier problem but when you have senile old fools like McCain and Graham running around thinking that the rebels were the good guys...like in Star Wars...it again gets difficult. Add in that Assad's real allies are Russia and fucking Iran and it would have been far better for Obama to keep his mouth shut instead of talking about "red lines."

I agree with your political assertion for 2016. The republicunts are most liable to nominate the most disgusting piece of tea-bagging shit they can find.
