Do we have another double-cross taking place? One day he's your friend, ...the next he is being conspired again, ...with the supposed enemy?

Just look at Syria. There's one anti-Assad rebel faction that has kidnapped 23 UN workers. Uh... who are the good guys again?

Looks like Hillary was pretty savvy to resign when she did. How do you explain something like this to the bereaved family of a fallen soldier? "Ya we sent your son/daughter/wife/husband/brother/sister/mother/father  etc to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan, and he died there, ...and now we've changed our minds... and decided the Taliban are now our friends, ...sorry your relative is dead?  :-\
