I have presented the facts that back up my opinion, while you have not.
See JimmyX's post for additional facts.

More emotional tripe.
Obama moved forces into the area, and took a stand, when no one else would.
This is the indisputable fact.

The main Syrian opposition body - the Syrian coalition receives logistic and political support from major Sunni states in the Middle East, most notably Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia; all the three major supporting states however have not contribute any troops for direct involvement in the war, though Turkey was involved in a number of border incidents with Syrian Army; limited political support has also been provided by France, Britain and US. The major Syrian Kurdish opposition group, the PYD, was reported to get logistic and training support from Iraqi Kurdistan. Islamist militants in Syria were reported to receive support from private funders, mainly in the Persian Gulf area, as well as from Al-Qaeda in Iraq.and the US.

None of these claims are true, they are all made up nonsense.
France did not act first.
world.time.com...
The U.S. did act alone, see above link.
The U.S. wasn't backed into a corner, and even after Putin caved and agreed to Syria surrendering chemical weapons, Obama still threatened action.
And you fake photos claim is even bigger nonsense.

If rewriting history helps you sleep at night, good for you.
If you cannot deal with basic facts then my work here is done.

It kind of reminds me of my daughter hiding under the covers with her ears plugged and eyes closed insisting the monsters can't get her that way!

It is a nice propaganda ploy, but the claim that the Syrian rebels are Al Queda has no basis in fact. If you have any evidence to back said claim, please present it.
An Army veteran accused of fighting alongside an al-Qaida-affiliated group of Syrian rebels has been released from jail following a secret plea deal.
These would be the people the U.S. should back, if people weren't so completely programmed by the propaganda of the right.
Doesn't it bother you that your hatred of Obama is actually aiding Al Queda, those other fighters coming from Iraq who oppose the U.S. and are the enemies of the U.S.?
If it doesn't, then it should.
Iraqi officials said the extremists operating in Syria are in many cases the very same militants striking across their country. “We are 100 percent sure from security coordination with Syrian authorities that the wanted names that we have are the same wanted names that the Syrian authorities have, especially within the last three months,” Izzat al-Shahbandar — a close aide to the Iraqi prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki — said in an interview on Tuesday. “Al Qaeda that is operating in Iraq is the same as that which is operating in Syria,” he said.

Did you know that Rob Paul wants to sell our water rights to the people who sponsor Al Queda?
When you wake up to that one, then you will be on your way.

This is a major victory for Obama, and Putin. They get to claim credit for making a difference, without ever having to put boots on the ground.
But wait for it, soon the anti-Obama crowd with be claiming about how Obama should have invaded Syria, and calling him a wimp.
