Krauthammer: Obama’s ‘Not Going to Repudiate His Own Doctrine’ on Syria and Intervene

RUSH EXCERPT:

WALLACE: "Does trying to shake Assad, trying to topple him, trying to create a new government in Syria, does it help our hurt in the fight against ISIS?" 
KRAUTHAMMER: "That could be argued either way. What cannot be argued is the fact that the United States accepting the Obama doctrine that Syria is a no-go zone, that the U.S. Under him has essentially declared we will not do anything, and engaging only in diplomacy, which you have diplomats say cannot work unless you have an advantage on the field. That doctrine simply as it created a vacuum into which Russia has now entered. Reappearing in the Middle East for the first time in half a century and which Iran and Hezbollah have now occupied. All of which are very strongly against U.S. National interests. There’s not going to be a change in policy. Obama is not going to repudiate his own doctrine and start a whole new adventure with six months left to go. I think it’s not just the number of diplomats who came out against it. It’s the fact it’s on the front page of the major newspapers, it was leaked, meant to be seen. More important is the fact that these are diplomats demanding military action and essentially retroactively criticizing heavily Obama’s decision. Years ago when this was feasible."
