Cape May - Who else is befuddled by Obama critics about our Syria policies? France and Russia have obvious reasons for their bombing campaigns there due to tragic attacks on their citizens, but, as yet, thankfully we've been spared homeland catastrophes because of our precision bombings in the Middle East that minimize civilian deaths. For us, why is there a need to ramp up our attacks over there, and expose our citizens here to possible retaliation?
