Again, when did I advocate sending in soldiers?
Changing what another person says is a favorite method of obscuring things.
What are you advocating, then. Really really hard wishful thinking?
You haven't been reading my posts since 2011?
The rebels needed financial support and arms, as they asked for. And training was needed too, and help with diplomatic efforts by the rebel government's representatives. Obama never sent enough; it was too little and way too late.
Sending troops was not what I advocated. But I'm saying if a president with Bush's mindset of doing so, had done it in 2011, it would have been more appropriate than invading a country that was no threat to us.
Of course, I'm not against wishful thinking either. Prayer does work
