It’s one time I’m glad Obama broke a promise. We didn’t need to have a regime-change war against Syria. If the Saudi family want to take out Assad, they should do it with their men and money, and stop trying to pressure US to do their will

As an example, bin Sultan cites Obama’s opposition to Iran and public promises to curb Iranian activities, yet later he ignored the Saudis and negotiated the nuclear accord with the regime, cementing a deep mistrust with the Obama administration.

I did not see *any* promise to go to war with Syria mentioned in the article.

You focus on that non-statement as if the article is centered about Obama promising the Saudi King to go to war in Syria.

That is not what the article is about.
