Recriminations by Tweety and other Republicans to blame Obama for weak policy to stop Assad gassing his people are a continuation of campaigning by Republicans to get re-elected. The solution is not to look for blame when the choice is peace or war. Ideological arguments benefit no one. Blame Obama for not doing "something" to stop Assad a couple years ago? He chose diplomacy and waiting. Are the blamers certain bombs would have helped? Helped whom?
Recriminations help nothing.
Some action helps, but what action?
Obama chose a less bellicose approach, as it seems the option was bombing and putting boots on the ground before Russia charged into Syria. Who can guarantee the result would not have been the same as when bombed Iraq back to the 1800s. Now Iraq has unreliable water, sewage, and electricity. Now Iraq is a third world country thanks to bombs. Iraq lost hundreds of thousands of civilians, non-combatants.
So should Obama have done a "Bush attack" on Syria? Ends badly usually and might create a new ISIL, just as Iraq resulted in the first ISIL.
Americans are not stupid I hope. Obama did not order anything against Syrian Prez. Now with latest gassing in Syria, Tweety blames Obama, but does nothing? I am confused. WHAT WILL TWEETY DO? Nothing because Tweety loves Putin.

When Chinese premier Xi Jinping visits his US counterpart Donald Trump at the president’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida this week, he will have one member of the Trump family to thank.
Jared Kushner, the husband of Trump’s daughter Ivanka and a senior adviser to the president, played an important role in setting up the meeting between the two men, the latest indication of his increasing prominence in the White House.
The 36-year-old businessman is emerging as a senior figure in the Trump administration, particularly in the realm of foreign policy, raising questions about his suitability and experience for a role usually associated with the secretary of state.
