[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1384705, member: 14668"] I'm not necessarily an Obama fan, but I have to point something out here. 6 months ago, everyone was bashing Obama for failing to bomb Syria when they crossed the "red line" of chemical weapons use against their own civilians. What was the end result however? Using the credible threat of Tomahawk missile strikes combined with [I]diplomacy and negotiations[/I] with Russia, Syria wound up placing its chemical weapons stockpile under international control [I]without the need for American military intervention. [/I] I am not naïve enough to think they handed [I]all[/I] of them over, but credible reports indicate that the overwhelming majority of Syria's chemical arsenal has been confiscated and is in the process of being destroyed, which is a [I]far better[/I] situation than existed before. I saw lots of cartoons making fun of Obama for being weak, but the bottom line is that in this case he got the job done without having to put US troops in harms way and he deserves some credit for that.
