a lot of mixed opinions on how this should go. when you look at syria issue. the president said congress i am going to leave it up to you. he said congress wouldn t support air strikes. is he going to look for a similar kind of exit in this situation? since the president the disastrous u.s. intervention in libya that deposed moammar qaddafi and led to an islamist state where there once was a cruel dictator but was a stable force has been replaced by something much, much worse. since the president authored that strategy he has been loathe to get drawn into conflicts including the famous red line flinch on syria which his critics say contributed to the moment this is happening in
