Syria Update - The New War on Terror


Lets Get Real:

The US and its allies have become the air force for the Assad Regime and its backers Iran, the Free Syrian Army is in no shape to take the land that is being bombed by the Allies.  The only way this War can be a net plus for Obama before his term ends is to place troops in Iraq and Syria.  POTUS will have to be forced by public will to place troops in these two Countries, it runs against who POTUS is and what he ran on in 2008 and 2012, either POTUS changes his mind or the US will never win this new war.  Of course POTUS might want to hand the problem over to his successor in 2017, that will not look good for the Obama legacy even if it makes the liberal base happy.   No War can be won with just air power, only someone who has never fought or does not understand military history would think that the bomber theory is still a plus.   Time will tell, the US voter will want results nor constant rhetoric that does not make any changes.
