How Obama has supported Assads gas murder always

Linux Beach: How Obama has supported Assads gas murder always.

It is hard to dispute the claims made here, namely that Obama’s calculus on Syria is deliberate and methodical and meant simply to use the conflict in Syria to achieve certain policy goals that do not include regime change or ending genocide. With the deal struck with Iran, one policy goal is now clear. One more thing is clear as well: Obama is not only an amoral bastard but a moron as well.

Reached – a capitulation agreement by the world ‘s only superpower whose luck it is to be ruled by a bunch of nincompoops, to a group of fascists pigs busy helping a genocidal maniac perpetrate his crimes in Syria, joy to the world, and all that sort of things. For what no one will tell you concerning this “blessed” agreement is the attached tacit clause that gives Iran (and Russia) a free hand in Syria and Lebanon – all for a 6-month worth of promises meant, nay, designed to be broken.
