But I gave Obama credit for being willing to risk his second term on taking the chance. Going into Pakistan was a lot more dicey than going "back" into Syria, because Pakistan could have gone full out terrorist haven without our ability to do anything about it, and they really do have nukes, so the comparison is not exact because Obama risked a lot more. But if the Syria raid went balls up, Trump would surely have been a one termer. I think we have to give him credit for that. But that doesn't make his Syria run away the right thing to do, and it actually illustrates why it's the wrong thing to do.
