If you really want to strike a blow at isis you have to do it inside syria. The question becomes why and how as you mentioned. One of the big reasons is how does the United States get the legal basis or intervention in syria. Is it through an authorization of war. Something that congress ended up doing . Is it cooperation with the assad government. What we have seen is an increase of military. Two or three eks ago it wasnt that much and the United States starred to look at whats going on.

If you want to see a transformational election in our country let the democrats put forward a war hawk like Hillary Clinton and youll see a transformation like youve never seen. He calls her a war hawk. Is this more evidence that he might run for president . I think its been evident. Theres always a possibility he might decide not to run but everything hes done, even this trip to guatemala suggests a president ial bid.
