Saudis Lobbied John McCain & Lindsey Graham to sell War.
?
Bin Laden said he intentionally goaded America in to a war in the middle east to "bleed America to the point of bankruptcy." Well, as it turns out, ISIL and Saudi Arabia are trying to goad America into another war in the middle east and they've enlisted John McCain and Lindsey Graham to sell us that war.
An August 2013 the Wall Street Journal http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/09/16/1330029/-Saudis-Lobbied-John-McCain-Lindsey-Graham-to-sell-War reports that Saudi Arabia's Foreign Policy includes overthrowing Syrian government, which is Shiite, to put in place their own Sunni government so they, Saudis, can ultimately control Damascus.
The Saudi plan is to steadily strengthen carefully selected groups of rebel fighters not in the radical Islamist camp, with the goal of someday seeing them in control in Damascus
.
That's a hefty goal the Saudis have -- control Damascus. And they want 'who' to fight for 'their' goal to control Damascus? You guessed it, none other than the U.S. Military.

TO SUMMARIZE:
Saudi Arabia's ultimate goal is to control Damascus,
Saudi Prince Bandar appears to go to any length, including threats of terrorist attacks, to get his way,
Saudis are the largest bankroller for worldwide Sunni Terrorist groups: al-Qaeda, including ISIL, Hamas and the Taliban,
At one point, Saudi Prince Bandar expressed a desire for genocide against Shiites,
ISIL is committing genocide against Shiites,
Suspicions that ISIL is a covert operation by the Saudis,
2 years after Prince Bandar was put in charge of toppling the Syrian (Shiite) government, al-Qaeda in Iraq (ISIL) expands into Syria with lightening speed and as the most well-funded Terrorist group,
Saudi Prince Bandar enlisted Senator John McCain, Senator Lindsey Graham, early on, to goad America back into a middle east war so that Saudi Arabia can use the U.S. Military in securing Saudi Arabia's ultimate goal: control of Damascus, Syria.

Maybe it's just me but this makes Obama sound like a soft-headed, easily duped stooge.

How many people could cheer you into a war you weren't morally certain about?
