The Obama administration continues to put troops and resources in harms way for the benefit of other regimes.
And lets not forget we are broke.

Well, we gotta fight 'em over there, so that we don't have to fight 'em over here.

The winner of the Nobel Peace prize (for doing nothing) is sending troops and missiles to another country.

Right-wingers have turned into Yoko Ono peaceniks since Obama's election.

What happened to the whole Axis of Evil stuff?

Yup..we're not invading and aiding the "rebels", we're proactively defending a potential attack on the US.

One by one the dictators fall.
Someone decided Saddam had to go and the US invaded.
Someone decided Gaddafi had to go and the US invaded.
Someone decided Mubarek had to go and the US invaded ? (we own the Egyptian army remember)
Now, someone has decided Assad has to go.

And as each country falls and gains a new dictator the country regresses 100 years into the past with strict religious law taking hold.

What is the true endgame here ?

This "winner" has been involved with more wars in more countries in 4 years than Bush did in 8 years.
And the Dems were so against war until 2008.

I dunno what you are talking about since I was opposed to the militaristic adventures of Bush as well.

Let me guess, you were a peacenik during GW's reign, but now that its Obama calling the shots you consider the wars and acts of aggresion smart, intelligent, calculated foreign policy ?

Nice spin--Bush's disaster in Iraq extinguished more lives than any of Obama's "wars".

As for Dems--GWB had 90% approval ratings when he went into Afghanistan. Bush had support. He just squandered it with his idiotic Invasion in 2003.
