#6 He said, "it’s not a no-fly zone," but added that "the Syrian regime would be wise to avoid areas where coalition forces have been operating."
And when a S-300 bags a USAF fighter (quote) accidentally (unquote) what will this nitwit say then? "Its only aggression when THEY do it!?!"

#7 Obastard is going for the whole enchilada.

He's looking to start a war with Russia to cement his place as the worst in all senses of the word, "leader" in world, not just American, history.

What kind of legacy will he have, assuming there's anyone left, to write?

#12 Nobody's said it, so I will.
If he can induce a strike before the election the Dems will have reasonable justification for him to stay. No one else will want the job.
I'd have to say the two we have now don't seem to want it very much.
