No, that is not correct. He did not want to get involved in Syria at all.

We should stay the hell out of Syria, the "rebels" are just as bad as the current regime. WHAT WILL WE GET FOR OUR LIVES AND $ BILLIONS?ZERO

Remember, all these ‘freedom fighters’ in Syria want to fly planes into our buildings.

Let the Arab League take care of Syria. Why are these rich Arab countries not paying us for the tremendous cost of such an attack?

What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.

Trump's specific attack on Obama at yesterday's news conference with the king of Jordan was that Obama had drawn a red line and then not enforced it.
Obama's failure to enforce his own red line made America look weak and caused other countries to walk all over us.
This is a point Trump not only made at the news conference, but over and over again during his campaign.
It is one thing not to get in involved in Syria.
It's quite another to make threats and then not carry through on them.
You can trot out a million Trump tweets if you want -- you are still wrong.
In a statement condemning Tuesday’s chemical attack in Syria, President Trump faulted the administration of former President Barack Obama for not intervening more aggressively in that country’s civil war — contradicting his own, earlier advice.
“Today’s chemical attack in Syria against innocent people, including women and children, is reprehensible and cannot be ignored by the civilized world,” Mr. Trump said in the statement released by the White House. “These heinous actions by the Bashar al-Assad regime are a consequence of the past administration’s weakness and irresolution.”[MOD Cut/copyright] Fact Check: Trump, Faulting Obama on Syria, Contradicts Himself
He is the biggest POS-HYPOCRITE in history! I am no fan of Obama or Clinton, but man I hope his plane crashes on his next trip!
Why do you think Bannon has been mad as hell and all but quit.
His supporters -- while they have doubts now -- will see that he did the right thing.
He showed that America doesn't let tin pot Third World dictators get away with using WMDs.
He showed that he is no puppet of Vladimir Putin.
And nothing he has done indicates that he wants to get involved in nation building in the Middle East.
Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc., are on notice that Obama the weakling is gone, and America is going to defend its interests and its allies.
America's interests do not include allowing Iran to get nuclear weapons, allowing North Korea to threaten America with nuclear weapons, and allowing Assad to use chemical weapons -- weapons that could be used on U.S. troops.
America's interests also do not include allowing terrorist groups from ISIS to Hezbollah to gain power and wreak havoc.
Those are the standards, and they are more than reasonable.
What idiocy... is your memory so short that you've already forgotten which party was in the WH the past 8 years! FYI ,I would have loved to have seen Bernie Sanders win, and I still hope to one day see America become a Social Democracy like Denmark!
The two-party system is too full of FANATICS and criminals!
How are you feeling about your OP? :spin spin spin:
No it is about equal. Do you forget leading up to the election most republicans felt trump was going to lose and vowed to prevent any Supreme Court justices to be appointed by Hillary. That's some hate.
I think you are confused or just plainly misinformed. It was Obama not Hillary that nominated a SC Judge that was rejected by republicans in Obama's lame duck last year.
The fact is if Hillary was elected President she would have nominated someone and whoever that was would have been confirmed without using the Nuclear Option just like the two liberals Judges that Obama nominated and were passed overwhelmingly.
The only hate I see right now are democrats obstructing everything in both houses of congress only because of their hate for Trump.
Wait.... also liberal leaning destructive violence in the street and college campuses that never happens on the conservation side.
I agree here. What solution are you offering Donald. The ball is in your court.
OK, Obama screwed up. He's no longer making the decisions. What is the solution?
Obama didn't screw up. After 1,000 Syrians were gassed in 2013, he asked Congress for authority. Congress said he couldn't act without said authority. Then, Congress didn't act.
