Recently, an OP-ED in the DAY by Republican Senator Kain criticized President Obama’s handling of the Syrian conflict. However, I don’t recall any actual votes, led by the Republican majority in Congress, as to how the wars overseas should be handled. Congress instead chose to let the President take responsibility  on his own as he attempted to limit US involvement where possible.

Now, Mr. Kain blames Mr. Obama for the Aleppo crisis. Did I miss something here?

We also have Congressional Members, including Democrats, criticizing the Obama Administration’s decision to abstain from the United Nations vote concerning Israel’s disputed annexation of Palestinian land. This also resulted in Israel’s Prime Minister trying to bully other UN members and openly criticize the Obama Administration…. not for the first time. And as we know, Israel continues to “bully” Pakistan…horribly.

Perhaps it is time for us to take a serious look at the large amount of financial support we provide to Israel on a regular basis. To my knowledge, this support has been a gift…and not a loan.

Enough, already.
