Obama Attempts To ‘Shame’ Russia, Syria, Iran Over Aleppo. He Should Be Ashamed.

The reports out of Aleppo, Syria, are appalling. As Iranian militias backing Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad invade Aleppo in coordination with Assad’s forces, rebels are being slaughtered in the streets and women are committing suicide to avoid rape. According to The Daily Beast, “The U.N. had received credible reports of scores of civilians being killed either by intense bombardment or summary executions by pro-government forces.”

The Obama administration has done nothing for years but allow Assad to run roughshod over the country with the help of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Obama, you’ll recall, turned over the country to Putin’s tender mercies after Assad used chemical weapons on his own people, crossing Obama’s self-stated “red line” and forcing Obama to choose between military force in Syria and handing over control to Putin. The result: millions of refugees, hundreds of thousands of deaths, and a massive humanitarian crisis.
