Obama buys into neocon regime change in Syria. Now they are blaming him for the Isis victory.

WPost Blames Obama for Syrian Mess
May 3, 2015

Exclusive: As Al-Qaeda forces advance in Syria – with the help of the Saudi-Israeli alliance – American neocons are shielding themselves from the blame if Damascus falls to the jihadists by preemptively faulting President Obama for not intervening for “regime change” earlier, Robert Parry reports.

By Robert Parry

For the past two decades, American neocons and Israeli hard-liners have targeted Syria for “regime change,” a dream that may be finally coming true, albeit with the nightmarish ending of Al-Qaeda or maybe the Islamic State emerging as the likely winners.

Such an outcome would be disastrous for the millions of Syrian Shiites, Alawites, secular Sunnis and Christians, including descendants of survivors of Turkey’s Armenian genocide a century ago. They would all face harsh repression or, possibly, mass decapitations. An Al-Qaeda/Islamic State victory also would be a major problem for the United States and the West, which would have to choose between a terror central in the center of the Middle East or a military invasion...........

Neocons are always wrong about things. Obama and Hillary shouldn't have given and inch to them. McCain lost! I hope the next democratic administration is smart enough to purge every last one from the state department. Their psycophants in the media, should have been reminded of their loss daily and should be encouraged to retire.

4. This whole story will end when

the Assad Family is deposed from any type of Power or Control. Read their History,most brutal family ever in the Mid East. Just this past week spoke to a person familiar with what the real truth is in Syria,and the removal of Assad is the answer according to him. Friends and Enemies get confusing and the Religious Players make it even more confusing.

5. isis are killing religious minorities with American weapons given to

socalled Syrian moderates. I have no doubt Israel has signed a non-aggression pact with the Gulf dictators that fund these guys. It is just sour grapes with Assad because he won't concede to Golan Heights to them so they exaggerate his crimes and ignore the Saudies, Al Qaeda and the Talbans. It is kind of like Stalin's non aggression pact with Hilter. Isis are not friends to women gays or other religious minorities. They are not friends to the average Israeli though their victory does create a new external enemy like Hamas. Israel funded Hamas to undermine the PLO. Israeli militarists aren't the only people who count.

Anybody ever notice apologists for neocons like usernames that make them sound liberal?

7. This will end this Summer,

got a hunch the Jokers who wanted a Arab Spring are now looking over their shoulders and are seeing the total disaster they created. Remember the theory,October of the previous election year the Wonks start to pay attention. And by June the regular Populace are whipped by the Media into their Ques as to possible Candidate support. Mr. Obama is playing the long game here,he is setting this coming election up as a third term with either Hillary or Bernie,and the Foreign Policy Issue over the Mid East will be settled and Bibi will be the looser as well as Assad.
