Transcript:
War is raging in syria between the government of Bashar Al- Assad, who the U.S. doesn't want to win, and the islamic state. who the U.S. also doesn't want to win. (Barack Obama: What we need is a lose-lose scenario, where both sides lose. Like here, with the democrat's and republicans!) To ensure that neither side wins, the U.S. supplies weapons to whichever side is starting to lose. (Man: Computer models say Assad needs 32,503 AK-47's and 42 APCs to hold Halab Province. Done!) America's lofty ambition: keep the war equally balanced until the last two soldiers, one from each side, simultaneously kill each other. (Men: OW!) Careful calibration is only the beginning. We also have to make sure they don't find out what we're up to. (Man: President Assad- looks like the Americans accidentally sent us a batch of beheading knives for ISIS!)

Yes, do it on the sly, just like we did during the Iraqi/Iranian conflict for eight years!

Ah, so sorry you have uncovered the truth, Rall, and so arrogantly broadcast it. Because of you, everybody reading this cartoon will be subsumed into Cyberspace via their telescreens to endure quarantine as long as We deem necessary. Three… two … one…

Actually not a bad strategy, no American troops getting killed and in the middle east they seem to love killing off anybody who is from or different sect or anyone else in general. They dream of becoming a world power but fail to notice the regular destruction they visit on each other keeps them in the stone age.

If this is our strategy then we blew it by supporting the moderate rebels too late into the civil war:-http://hotair.com/archives/2014/11/03/by-the-way-obamas-isis-strategy-has-all-but-collapsed-in-syria/-In the meantime, ISIS, whom the President famously dismissed as the jayvee team, continues to commit atrocities against innocent civilians in spite of US Intervention:-http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/11/isis_slave_auction_video.html-http://pjmedia.com/eddriscoll/2014/08/08/isis-are-fast-track-nazis/
