Additionally, Bush had 15 UN Resolutions and a vote of both houses in congress. Clearly, that is insufficient to convince a lot of people that a war is worth fighting. How will Obama fare in history with his little war?

A good outcome on this would be harder odds than filling an inside straight. A lot can go wrong and any possible small advantage achieved would be fraught with room for second guessing. If somehow all chem. weapons could be vaporized with no collateral damage, might be a good thing. Yeah, that'll happen.

The mid east is a disaster, and not any fault of ours so they are trying to smooth the way saying that H. C. was not a complete failure.

Yeah... the Middle East is a big mess because of Hillary...

All those partisan chain emails can get in the way of reading history if yer not careful....

Pardon me for pointing out the absurdity of that.

The middle east has been a cauldron of unrest pretty much forever.

I live in a hotbed of social rest

Her job was not to preserve unrest but attempt to mitigate it. When she took control of the state department would you say conditions have improved or deteriorated since then? And as far as our allies trust in the U.S.A. would you like to say they are improving or going backwards.

How can we attack Syria without first giving Dennis Rodman a chance?

Rodman seems to get along with N Korea pretty good.

EDIT: I meant to post this in a different thread... sorry.

Surely there's a Nobel in somebody's future.

And don't call me....

I think she did a fine job, regardless of whether things have improved or not. I'd say trust is better with other countries too than when the present administration came in....for sure.
