What could be the reason Obama thinks Syria would be better ruled by Al-Qaeda than by Assad?

beats me but they're more of are enemy than Assad.

My understanding is that Saudi Arabia wants to put a pipeline to the Mediterranean through Syria. Right now, Russia basically controls the oil and natural gas market in much of Europe. The Europeans would enjoy some competition provided by the Saudis and their OPEC neighbors. Russia, of course, is strongly against this. The Saudis have generously (LOL) offered to pay for our military to depose Assad.

On the other side, the Muslim Brotherhood, after winning the election in Egypt, felt empowered to have another go at taking over Syria. There is a Muslim Brotherhood of Syria, and they tried, unsuccessfully, to take over Syria thirty years ago. Hafez Assad razed the city of Hama in 1982 to stop this attempt.

This civil war is also a fight between Shiites from Syria, and Hezbollah from Lebanon and fighters from Iran all armed by Russia, all aligned with Assad, against Sunni Jihadists of all stripes funded by Saudis and others. This conflict has gone on intermittently since before Mohammed, before Jesus and even before Moses.

Why we would enter into such a mess, I don't know. Obama made a statement about a red line that he regrets to the point of letting Putin get the upper hand and making the US look like an untrustworthy ally to other nations in the world. This will doubtless lead to attacks on our country and/or real national interests.

Barak Obama doesn't believe that Al-Qaeda do do a better job of ruling Syria than Bashar Al-Assad.

It is merely incidental that people can see that increased Al-Qaeda influence may be a consequence of what the United States is doing in Syria. The point is not to advance Al-Qaeda's cause, it is to get rid of Bashar Al-Assad in order to replace him with a more pro-western, pro-USA, democratic, modern/liberal, government.

In fact, it is my opinion that the long game the USA is playing is in fact NOT to have pro-western governments in power in the middle-east in the long run, such as the USA has engineered in Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, and Iraq, but merely to pretend to aim for that by setting them up in the short term, as they have done recently. But that is another story altogether.

A. Obama hasn't said that or suggested it.

B. Even if you want to make that allegation, which is false, you still have to deal with the fact that Assad murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people. How is that any better than al Quaeda?

C. Hezbollah is fighting for Assad against the free Syria rebels.

Let’s take an honest look at what Obama is doing to black Americans and his own most loyal supporters. It is, in a word…unimaginable.

It all starts with Syria. Why Syria? Why now? Until Russia interceded, going to war in Syria seemed the most important thing in the world to Obama and his Secretary of State John Kerry. They seemed DESPERATE to go to war, at any costs.

But why? Syria has nothing to do with us. They are not threatening us. Their own war is a civil war with no “good guys.” How does America benefit from a war with Syria? Why did Obama suddenly decide a “red line” has been crossed, when there are “red lines” all over the world- including the killing of Christians and the burning of 71 Christian churches in Egypt. Why is it so important to risk American lives to defend the Syrian rebels- who are partners with Al Qaeda, America’s sworn enemy? We didn’t go to war to avenge the murder of our own citizens at Benghazi, so why would we go to war to avenge Al Qaeda deaths in Syria? None of this makes any sense at all.

Until you realize it’s a massive cover-up. Obama’s WMD- Weapon of Mass Distraction. Obama is desperate to cover-up the facts about his dying economy and the damage he’s done to his own most loyal voters. Obama has destroyed the lives of the very people who consider him “the American Idol.”How bad is Obama’s economy? Forget the 7.3 percent unemployment rate that is reported by the government. That’s pure fraud and propaganda. That figure goes down only because hundreds of thousands of Americans drop out of the workforce. In other words, if you stop looking for work, and go on food stamps and welfare, Obama says the unemployment number just got better!

The only truth about unemployment is found in the Labor Force Participation Rate of 63 percent. That’s the lowest in four decades. For men it’s the lowest since record-keeping began in the 1940’s. What this means is 37 percent of the able-bodied, working age adults in America are not only not working, they’ve given up looking for work.

Other than faux "news" nobody says al Qaeda is in Syria.

Well it's not our new allies the Al Queda he wants the muslim bro hood in there. as you can see from past dealings. His half bro is the international overseer* of their finances. Then you have Qatar who funded the Libya murder spree wanting in to build a pipeline to Europe through power house turkey to circumvent the Russian contracts.

see in 2010 there was a hugh offshore oil and gas find there and now after all these years of messing with countries with oil we decide to send mercenaries in there to kill and mess with them.. LOL

I still have a problem with seeing those people jump to their deaths from W trade towers sorry. damn al queda

His record of supporting radical Islamist takeovers of pro-Western dictatorships (Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia) suggest he thinks so.

Unfound speculation

if syria becomes rules by AQ, we can put boots on the ground.
