One cheer for Syrian civil war victory

We should all offer measured support for Syrian President Assad's apparent victory over rebel forces. With Russian and Iranian help, Assad has pushed the rebels into their last enclave in northwest Idlib, Syria. Eight years of civil war have left a half million dead, 4 million refugees and 11 million displaced overall in the most war torn nation on earth (Yemen a close second).  Tragically, America is responsible for much of the blood and displacement from its 2013 involvement to prevent an Assad victory over rebel forces that included major Sunni jihadist groups seeking to spread Islamic State in Syria. President Obama and his war loving Secretary of State Hillary Clinton intervened on the double pretext of disposing the hated Assad while eliminating jihadist inroads. 

We claimed we could vet the rebels, only aiding the good ones; but wound up mainly supplying jihadist fighters, causing the Russians and Iranians to turn the tide in Assad's favor. Knocking off Assad to weaken Iran's influence in the region has always been our number one goal. We pay lip service to fighting Sunni jihadists, but are dead serious in complying with Saudi, Gulf States and Israeli demands we take out Iran, with the road to Tehran running straight through Damascus. The current lull in fighting could have been achieved back in 2013 had the US not foolishly upended Assad's apparent victory to achieve lusted for Iranian regime change. The US blames the entire Syrian catastrophe on Assad. Six years of US meddling should not be ignored or condoned. Once again America intervenes...and once again America, and the world, loses.
