Obama wanted to bomb Assad after he used chemical weapons. That is what the Red Line was about. Congress decided they did not want Assad's forces bombed. The administration came under pressure to not support the rebels. Accusations are made to this day that Ben Ghazi was related to weapons being supplied to rebel forces. Your suggestion now is that the US should have gone it alone without support from the surrounding countries and waged a new war in Syria without congressional, UN or international legal cause to do so.I am glad we did not confront ISIS with American troops when they showed up. I am glad we got out of Iraq and didn't leave a force behind that would have been trapped into a combat role to protect the Iraqi's who refused to fight for themselves. Those dead Syrians were not our responsibility and not one American should have been sacrificed in that civil war. The only options I support are the ones that don't include boxes of dead US soldiers coming home and refilling our VA hospitals with even more maimed and crippled Americans.Had Obama acted earlier, there would not be 300,000 dead Syrians now, and millions of refugees, some of them ISIS plants flooding Europe. Nor would we have Russia humiliating America once again.
At this point however there isnt much the U.S. or anybody can do but to let the two keep killing each other, and let Russia sink into another costly quagmire like they did in Afghanistan.
the cancer has now spread and it's too late now. Obama could have assisted the secular resistance forces and conducted some bombing of Assad's forces to prevent Assad from slaughtering his own people, and ISIS stepping into the vacuum.
The US should have bombed Assad's forces after the chemical weapons were dropped. The US had the approval of the Arab world and the international community. But like everything else with this president, he's an empty suit there to shove his radical ideological agenda down the throats of an unwilling American people. Congress voted against it because of the way the president had formulated the bill. The bigger thing about Ben Ghazi in my opinion was the way the president and Hillary lied to the face of the American people. He should have been impeached for that, but unfortunately the Democrats will even stand by a traitor and put party allegiance above national security.
The U.S. should have bombed Israel when they dropped white phosphorous on the Palestinians in Gaza.
Use of white phosphorus isn't a war crime, nor is it a WMD you dipshit, the US used it in Iraq and Afghanistan.
US should have bombed the Palestinians while they were celebrating 9-11.
