US and Coalition strikes Syria

[Kirkland Laing]

This is the seventh Muslim country the Nobel peace laureate has bombed since he took office five years ago.

....Says the guy who though Obama was the best choice for President

And Obama is the least militaristic senior politician in America. Any Republican and even Hillary, especially Hillary, would have done far more bombing than Obama has.

You DO understand that this recent "air strike strategy" was brought about by the many many blunders of President Obama right? Time table, leaving Iraq before they were ready, leaving a vacuum in Iraq for ISIS to fill.....Obama OWNS those decisions whether he or any of his sycophantic lickspittles like it or not!

Mr. Peace Prize...everybody loves Obama...especially Kirkland whose only defense of Obama now is that he's "not as bad as the others".....pathetic, own what YOU supported

The timetable for leaving Iraq was agreed by the Bush administration before Obama took office. Whether American troops were in Iraq or not wouldn't stop ISIS fighting in Iraq. The more American troops you have in Iraq the more jihadis will flock there to fight them. Try and remember far back in the mists of time to ten years ago and see how reluctant jihadis were to fight in Iraq with 150 000 US troops there. Bush ended up having to put them on the payroll to stop them killing US soldiers while he negotiated his retreat from Iraq.

What Obama did do wrong was arming "moderate" jihadis in Syria who turned out to be not so moderate after all and are now fighting for ISIS. Ohter US pols would have sent them even more arms. Obama's strategy in Syria and Iraq is rubbish and doomed to failure but it's the least worst option he has.
