Quote:That couldn't be further from the truth.

 

Why, because you haven't heard about it?  Why do you think the United States all of a sudden decided and announced that Assad "has to go"?  He was next in line after Saddam, Mubarak, Gaddafi, etc.  Strong leadership of non-sectarian nations cannot continue.  Christians, Jews & Muslims all living in peace under these regimes will not be tolerated.  We are giving arms to any wackos who promise they'll use them against Assad.  The whole Benghazi operation was to ship Gaddafi's stores of weapons to Turkey and then to "moderates" in Syria.  The attack on the "compound" (it certainly wasn't an Embassy) happened because the local Libyan wackos wanted the weapons for themselves.
