Why I am sick of the lies about Obama in Syria
Reading an article just recently which criticized Trump's plan to ally with Russia and Assad, destroy ISIS and implement safe zones, I am infuriated by the blindness that seems to infect most of the political left regarding Obama's role in Syria.
Again and again Obama is held up as morally superior to George W. Bush and Trump because he refused to put ground troops in Syria, whereas Bush put ground troops in Iraq and Trump will probably do so in Syria.
Firstly, ISIS wouldn't even exist as an entity separate from Al-Qaeda if it weren't for Barrack Obama! Obama is very much responsible for the rise of ISIS in Syria by refusing to implement a cease-fire in Syria unless Bashar Al-Assad, the Syrian President, were removed.
Obama funding any rebels who were against Bashar Al-Assad has caused untold suffering for the Syrian people, because instead of facing American ground troops, the Syrians were for the most part facing ISIS or their equivalent.
Obama did put ground troops in Syria, but his ground troops were ISIS. Even after ISIS took over Mosul and declared a Caliphate, Obama still used ISIS as a hammer to chip away at the Syrian Arab Army. He bombed ISIS everywhere in Syria, except where they attacked the Syrian Arab Army.
Trump sees that America - more specifically, Obama - created this mess in Syria. To end Syrian intervention honourably is to undo the disgusting Obama policy which overran Syria with ISIS and Al-Qaeda, which had threatened the extermination of Christians, Alawites and Druze - until Russia intervened.
Obama in my eyes is guilty of worse war crimes than George W. Bush. And I wish the whole world knew it, rather than slobbering after the Obama Legacy as if it were something special.
