Obama's Syria Mistakes

[deanrd]

first mistake, hiring Hilary
second mistake, looking east
third mistake, thinking he knew more than the generals
forth mistake, drawing any red lines if he was not going to hold firm to them

the better question is what he did not make a mistake on

Fifth mistake, taking the troops out of Iraq prematurely as a political move,

An actual mistake would have been to stay as an occupying force after Iraq asked us to leave.

In essence, Obama is the reason for the creation of ISIS, and the Assad genocide of his 600,000 own people. And yet, you Libtards are the ones who voted for Hillary who was Obama's Secretary of State.

More nonsense. Isis was created because Bush disbanded the Iraqi military leaving 250,000 armed and trained soldiers without jobs and without any place to go.

How Disbanding the Iraqi Army Fueled ISIS

Blowback: How ISIS Was Created by the U.S. Invasion of Iraq

ISIS top brass is Iraqi army's former best and brightest

Where the fuk do you fukers find your news? You just make everything up? No matter the facts?
Makes you wonder how these people operate in their daily lives? They don't even know recent history.

Bullshit, no ISIS around when Obama took over. In fact, Bush handed Obama a stable Iraq.

Why didn't Obama enforce his red line over Syria?

I could list many, but I'm curious as to what others think they were. To me, he is the poster child of obsessively avoiding one extreme (Iraq) but still getting blood on his hands, any how. Beyond that, he couldn't realize that by resisting Russia's 2012 overtures he was drifting towards a war he didn't have the conviction for, like a true dumbass.

He's alienated allies, just like Bush, and doesn't have the guts to admit we're now in a proxy war with Russia, and Iran. At least, in the Obama administration, there are a fair number of officials willing to admit the abject disaster of the mistakes made on their watch.

Power to that, at least.

Everyone today is saying Trump is making a major mistake and looking a lot like Obama

“Fox and Friends” host Brian Kilmeade debated White House press secretary Sarah Sanders Friday morning over President Donald Trump’s decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria.

As Sanders echoed Trump’s remarks that he’s following through on a campaign pledge to bring troops home, Kilmeade pushed back, arguing Trump is “giving Russia a big win.” Russian President Vladimir Putin has applauded Trump’s decision.

Kilmeade also pointed out Trump’s hypocrisy, arguing the president is “doing exactly what he criticized President Obama for doing.”

“He said President Obama is the founder of ISIS,” Kilmeade said. “[Trump] just refounded ISIS, because they’ve got 30,000 men there, and they’re already striking back with our would-be evacuation. The president is really on the griddle with this.”

As Sanders offered a rebuttal and argued Trump’s decision does not help ISIS, Kilmeade pushed back, saying “leaving is helping.”

President Barack Hussein Obama relied on his generals for advise, trump tweets policy and generals resign in protest.
