This is looking more and more like Saudi Wahhabi terror, why don't we do something about them? [View all]

We also need to take a serious look at our relationship with the Turks. We need to end the stupid effort to topple Assad and fight a one front war against Wahhabi terror. We need to join with Russia and end George Bush's unilateralism. Obama was elected to be different from Bush, not a softer version. Assad has only killed so many because he was attacked by Saudi inspired religious extremists, that want to create bin Laden's Caliphate. They are not Syrian moderates. Syrian moderates are a Saudi fabrication.
