Obama: I ‘Welcome’ Putin’s Involvement in Syria — ‘This is Not the Cold War’
The Blaze ^ | 9/15/13 | Oliver Darcy

Posted on 09/15/2013 9:03:02 AM PDT by Nachum

President Barack Obama said he welcomes Russian President Vladimir Putin’s involvement with Syria, in an interview that aired Sunday.

“I welcome him being involved,” Obama said on ABC’s “This Week.”

“I welcome him saying, ‘I will take responsibility for pushing my client, the Assad regime, to deal with these chemical weapons,’” he continued. “This is not the Cold War. This is not a contest between the United States and Russia.”

The president, responding to Putin’s op-ed in the New York Times, said he doesn’t “think that Mr. Putin has the same values that we do.”

Obama added that Russian influence in Syria “doesn’t hurt our interests.”

No this isn’t the Cold War. This is worse.

Right this is not “The Cold War.” That was the war we won. There needs to be a new name for the new war that we are trying to lose.

Did somebody get schooled?

That’s obvious. On issues like gay marriage, taxes and the enforcement of immigration laws Obama and Putin are polar opposites.

Highway robbery going good for Putin and Assad.

Like at the gas station, policy is give the money, so no need to bring a gun Putin. We got Bernanke.

No, of course not. Just as Russian involvement in Iran doesn’t hurt our interests....until the next IRI financed terror attack on us.

The ever receding red line... Now zero is bending over.. “Ok ok... Don’t hurt it too much now. America will think we are geniuses.”

Funny how when it is a little white boy’s values Obama tells him to shove it.

The Saudis are the ones financing terror attacks.

AlQaeda is 100% Sunni.

Heh...Putin didn't take responsibility for anything except making Obama look like the jackass he is.

He seems to bend over a lot.

Unfortunately, it is innocent mean, women and children who pay the price for his flippant comments.

Here and abroad.

He is always saying what he really means in these statements.

Obama: I ‘Welcome’ America being placed in the back seat of the bus. “its not the old new world order”

I'm thinking that neither of them have American values.

The 1960s campus radical, psycho spoiled brats didn't like the U.S.S.R. -- but only because it was too much like the U.S. The campus radical, psycho spoiled brats preferred revolutionary Marxism like Castro and Mao.

(an ideological issue of 1960s campus radical, psycho spoiled brats)

Sorry, but the IRI has been behind a number of attacks on the U.S., not to mention the IED’s that have killed and crippled thousands of our soldiers in Iraq & Afghanistan
