A Democrat in the U.S. Congress has not only turned her back on President Barack Obama but accused him of undertaking an "illegal" and "counter-productive" policy in the Middle East that could lead to a military conflict with Russia leading to World War III.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, said Obama's policy of trying to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power is "arming our enemies which are radical Islam," including the globally despised Islamic State (ISIS), WND.com reported.

Since Russian President Vladimir Putin is fully supportive of Assad who Obama wants to get rid of, the U.S. and Russia are on a collision course that could result in World War III if not de-escalated, the female lawmaker from Hawaii told CNN in a recent interview.

Asked by CNN's Wolf Blitzer how that collision could be avoided, Gabbard answered: "Very simple. The U.S. and the CIA should stop this illegal and counter-productive war to overthrow the Syrian government of Assad and should stay focused on fighting against who our enemy is, the Islamic extremist groups.

"Because right now we're seeing why this is counter-productive, by working towards that end, by working toward the overthrow of Assad we are not only strengthening our enemy, the Islamic extremists, who will walk in and take over all of the country Syria, right now they have about half of the country under their control, but it also puts us in that position of a potential direct head to head conflict with Russia which brings us to the brink of a potential larger conflict, a potential World War III situation."

Oh the irony, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient starting WW3.

Well then, that settles it. If one democrat says that it's illegal, then by god, it must be illegal.

They (the Nobel Committee) gave him (BHO) the award (Nobel Peace Prize) way too fast.

They should have waited to see what he was actually going to do first.

That was the big joke about it all.

Pulling out of A-stan and Iraq was good.

Funding insurrection and rebellion in Syria was bad.

You noticed Obama was all about gifting F16s and tanks to Egypt back when it appeared his radical buddies of the muslim brotherhood were going to take control of that government.

Yes, USFP is benefitting Islamic extremism.

I guess the hyperbole gave opportunity to ignore the real point in this. Mrs. Gabbard has a valid criticism you know.

Considering that there is no UNSCR for the use of force in Syria, and the fact that all "efforts" are failing to contain Islamic extremism, it's only a pity that there aren't more democrats calling foul.
 
Re: Obama's 'illegal' policy on Syria is arming radical Islam and pushing U.S. into W

In a remarkably candid interview with Wolf Blitzer, Gabbard calls Washington’s effort to oust Assad “counterproductive” and “illegal” before taking it a step further and accusing the CIA of arming the very same terrorists who The White House insists are “sworn enemies.”

She's quite right.

Another deflection with even worse aim, as expected.

Aren't "Obama" and "legitimate" mutually exclusive?
