If I was a cynical person, which, of course, I'm not, I'd probably say something like: "Boy, America's Syrian Adventure will sure divert the Media's attention away from some of Obama's problems here at home, right?" But, see, I'm not at all cynical, so I didn't say that, now did I?
Having said all the above, I must, in all honesty, admit that I DO have a, uh, sneering disbelief in the selflessness of, uh, certain politicians on the national and international scene -- and -- some who stand astride both. But I shall put forth my usual monumental effort toward refraining from expressing contempt or ridicule for those poor dolts as we investigate and comment on their most recent -- totally idiotic machinations -- as they pertain to another Middle Eastern hellhole/dung heap referred to simply as -- SYRIA.
I very nearly titled this piece: "Obama Takes sides in Islamic struggle dating from the Seventh Century" But then again, most Americans, ignorant of history as we are, would have absolutely no idea what the heck I was talking about. But make no mistake -- that is the way most of Islam will see Obama's decision to drag America into the Syrian civil war.
