military, and this is sad. You have to support American Troops when they go to War, but not those who commence them to it. Obama has been tempting down this neocon road for awhile now. I don't forsee a quick end to this if that is what this man must do. I think it will tarnish his presidency when all is said and done. A No Fly zone is going to cost millions. It will cost lives too. They have not defeated Syria yet, but it will escalate to Iran and others. My sense is, that he will be a failure as a President when all is said and done.
