Krauthammer: Russia’s Targeting Our Allies in Syria ‘and We Do Nothing’

BAIER: "Let's get this straight, Charles, the president and Putin meet at the U.N. saying they're going to have this deconflict ion about the Russian military. The way we find out that Russia is going to start strikes, that are not on ISIS by the way, is a Russian general essentially knocking on the door of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad." 
KRAUTHAMMER: "And delivering what's called a demarche. A nasty statement, a kind of ultimatum. 'We're doing this, we're going to do it within an hour and we don't want you in the air when we're doing this.' It's one thing to be humiliated. It's another thing to have that demonstrated to the world when our allies are looking at us and wondering who's in charge here. The United States is told by Russia one hour earlier that they're going to go and attack ISIS. The Soviet ministry announces that they hit ISIS targets. Everyone knows it is a lie. Like all the lies issued in the Ukraine. They were not hitting ISIS, ISIS isn't in the area. They were hitting the city of Homs, which is a stronghold for Free Syrian Army. Our allies who we are supposedly supporting and training and the allies of our Arab allies, the ones in the Gulf and elsewhere. And we do nothing, but not only do we do nothing, but then you've got the scene you showed, Brett, about 20 minutes ago of before the show, actually, live of our secretary of State coming out in a jolly. With Lavrov, the foreign minister of Russia, as a buddy, and saying 'Well, we've got a little problem about the nature of the targets that Russia attacked today. But we'll go on to other stuff and worry about that later.' As if it's a side issue. The point of Obama inviting in the Russians first time in half a century, a complete revolution in our position on the Russians staying out of the Middle East, was on the premise they're going to join a coalition against ISIS. As I was saying last night, the Russians have no interest in fighting ISIS. They're only interest is supporting Assad. Keeping him in place and the reason they are hitting Homs, is because it's the center of resistance from the legitimate pro-western opposition. They are hitting our allies and we do nothing, except have a palsy-walsy statement with the Russian foreign minister, as it nothing has happened."
