Many of you can see that I am livid about this.

But I am not angry at Biden. What he does now is largely inconsequential.
I am furious at all the Jewish Democrats who gaslit us for the past year, insisting that Democrats were pro-Israel and that we were just imagining things. pic.twitter.com/8fuglrvN9X
What’s happening in Syria is the same stupidity we saw in Libya. People have zero critical thinking skills and treat this stuff like a football game.

Tulsi Gabbard
Legal Insurrection: Tulsi Gabbard declares...
Good analysis and commentary by Professor Jacobson. I can't stand most of the Democrats running, but Tulsi Gabbard at least has a bit of common decency (I also greatly appreciate her service). I am glad she is running, if only to contrast and show the rest of the Democrat field for what they are.

President Trump: Don't Abandon Our Kurdish Allies In Syria
We benefit from helping the Kurds. We definitely should not abandon another ally like this. That does not mean we have to keep troops on the ground in Syria indefinitely to do it (President Trump's instinct on avoiding war and standing troops in harm's way is the right one). But we should not sell them out the Russians, Erdogan, and Bashar Assad. This is nothing new, Turks hate independent Kurds.
Make it clear to Erdogan, Russia and Assad we are not abandoning the Kurds. If the pull out is combined with an open effort not to abandon the Kurds (and support from other allies)--Erdogan does not get what he wants.

Red State: Khashoggi was a paid Qutari intelligence asset (and he was friends with the Turks). We should be working hard to make sure the Saudis have the Kurds' backs and we are not too far away to assist (if needed) in neighboring Iraq.

Syrian Breakfast
Extra Crispy: Syrian Breakfast
I find it interesting everyones subjective spin on the Syrian missile attack last night. NPR can't help but attack Trump and raise issues about bringing in refugees. Obama deepstater Sammantha Powers who was part of the administration that managed to do nothing good in Syria should probably sit this one out. The alt-right are freaking out as if this were George W. Bush invading Iraq again (they are practically having vapors). Some of the Jew haters are claiming the chem attack was a false flag operation by Israel (although that has switched to a false flag operation by the CIA, Britain and France lately).
Truth is Assad is a thug who has no issue using chemical weapons on his own people. Assad was trying to send a message to his opponents with the chemical attack. The response last night was a limited event, intended to send a message to Assad (and the Russians). The US/British/French certainly telegraphed what they were doing well in advance so any Iranians and Russians got out of the way to help avoid this escallating (some of the fixed targets/assets could not be moved and were presumably damaged).
While the actual damage is probably limited and expending a hundred million or so in missiles should not be casual, doing nothing would have been definitely worse than acting (because it would have been perceived as a sign of weakness). Trump (along with the British and French) opted to do what they did. I suspect the "Mission Accomplished" tweet was a backhanded compinsult to W and his supporters.
When it comes to Syria, I do not want U.S. troops there. I also do not want to abandon our allies (such as the Kurds) to the Iranians and Turks. If any refugees come out of Syria they should be minority groups targeted (such as Christians). I also want to keep destroying ISIS. We can help the Kurds and our allies accomplish these goals without putting boots on the ground and without a huge amount of cost.
The Syrian recipes are good. Have some breakfast. You can also make shakshuka (it also pisses off Zogby).

Obama Hokey Pokey on Syria

| This Syria stuff is boring. If Michelle is not around, I can have cake! |
Obama puts your boot in,
Obama puts your boot out,
Obama puts your boot in,
And he shakes it all about,
Obama does the hokey pokey
and he turn himself around
That what it's all about.

There is not a lot of images of Julia Ioffe on the web. Which is a shame, because she is a great Rule 5 subject. American Power prompted this post, with Ms. Ioffe's observation that Obama got played by Putin on Syria.

President Obama sending ships to Syria
Navy ships are on their way to Syria...
With the recent chemical attacks absolutely confirmed in Syria, the question becomes what to do? We get blamed for it anyway. We have the ruthless Assad regime and its mostly Alawite supporters and teamed up with Iranian backed Hezbollah groups and Russian support. We have an opposition that while has some moderate elements, is mostly dominated by hard core Islamic jihadis backed by al Qaeda (that we are sending aid to).
I would stay out of this one. If the rebels win, we still likely lose. But what will President Obama do?
Update:
It is all too much for some Leftist to handle. When in doubt, blame Israel!
Syria: A mission destined for failure...

Separated at Birth: The Assad Regime and...?
 |
| The Assad Regime, backed by Iran and Hezbollah... |
 |
| The Syrian Sunni Rebels, aligned with Al Qaeda |
Is there any way both sides can lose? I do feel bad for the Syrian civilians caught in the middle of this, but it sucks to be Syrian. This is a long term self made crisis and getting involved in a civil war is not a good idea for us. Assad's family and cronies are ruthless thugs, but the rebels are likely to be even worse. I would caution that we better stay out of this one, other than trying to mitigate any spill over to Jordan and Lebanon (Turkey and Israel can protect their own borders just fine).
Update:
If I thought the USA could competently support potential allies, I might feel different about this. But given the incompetence and cravenness of the Obama Administration in Libya, I do not see how that is possible.
