Former Obama Advisors: Trump’s Syria Action Ends “Years Of Hypocrisy” That Undermined U.S.

Via Politico:

Many of the most head-snapping comments I heard came from Obama’s own top advisers, who had long pushed him to confront Assad more aggressively and viewed his 2013 refusal to take military action against Syria after drawing a “red line” on chemical weapons use as a major American foreign policy debacle. There’s no love lost for Trump in this group, whose members found themselves in the uncomfortable position of cheering a leader they still both loathe and fear.

“Our administration never would have gotten this done in 48 hours,” one former senior official of the Obama administration told me. “It’s a complete indictment of Obama.”

“I feel like finally we have done the right thing,” Anne-Marie Slaughter, who served as Obama’s first-term chief of policy planning at the State Department and long publicly urged a more forceful response to Assad’s horrific attacks on civilians during the six years of war that have wracked Syria, told me. “The years of hypocrisy just hurt us all. It undermined the U.S., it undermined the world order.”

Slaughter, now the head of the New America Foundation and a major backer of Trump’s defeated opponent Hillary Clinton last November, tweeted, “Donald Trump has done the right thing on Syria. Finally!! After years of useless handwringing in the face of atrocities.” I later asked her if it was awkward to be cheering for Trump now. “I’m just glad to see it,” she said. “It was the right thing.”

 What amazes me about these admissions is that I honestly didn't think there was a f**king Leftist alive who would make them, regardless of the seriousness of the subject matter. Too bad they were too busy smelling Obama's farts and didn't make them when it could have helped America. No, they wait until the incompetent asshole is out of office and is being taken down by President Trump. I told you the Dems would start separating themselves from Obama, trying to convince us they tried to stop him, just like they did with Carter after his failed presidency. Give them about a year and they will deny they ever knew him let alone worshiped him. I don't need to hear these words from these morons about how bad he was. We all know it already. All I want to hear is: Indicted, Arrested, Prosecuted, Guilty, Sentenced to life. Then I will be happy.
