The Syrian NO FLY ZONE - Middle East Crisis

The Washington Post: Reports on a plan for a no fly zone on the Turkish and Syrian border, the article notes the following, " ..part of an offensive to push back militants along the western part of Syria’s border with Turkey and create a relatively safe zone for U.S.-backed Syrian rebel forces to move in. "

Lets Get Real:

This plan has all the hallmarks of another Vietnam War, the Obama gradual approach has created this mess, the first mistake was removing troops from Iraq in 2011, this gave the impression that the US was getting out of the Middle East and thus the growth of IS in Syria and Iraq.   The Obama Administration let thousands of Syrian die before it took action.   The IS War sooner or late will mean that US troops have to part of the land action,   If that is the end result its better to go in BIG NOW, take the risk and finish IS before it grows any more.   The US has to make sure that Kobane in Syria does not fall to IS, it is of Strategic and PR value to the Western and Gulf Allies.    One can almost see President Obama as the next LBJ.
