Obama Offers Half-Measure on Syria

Well at least he is doing something other than ignoring what is happening.

Under fire for not doing more to help Syria’s rebels, President Barack Obama announced on Tuesday that he's sending opponents of strongman Bashar al-Assad another $155 million in humanitarian aid and defended his handling of the bloody conflict. Obama said the aid sends a message to the world.

That is a drop in the bucket. Just go "all-in" and start arming the rebels. You have a much better seat at the table once Assad falls if you have given the rebels the tools to win their freedom. I guess since Hillary is out at State we won't be seeing any actual backbone out of the White House. I mean she actually helped Libya kick out Ghadaffi. Instead Obama is just sending some cash and hoping for the best.
