you couldn't be more wrong. BO's lack of foreign policy is what led to his ambivalence in Syria. finally, after much prodding, he sides with the anti-assad forces and sends a bit of help. now IS is there, Ruskies are there and the civil war is there, leaving BO in a quandary, does he flip-flop on the support for the people of Syria now? the only reason putin is there is because BO left the door open in the chess match, putie knows BO will either have to cling to his half-assed help to the uprising or partner up with putie to defeat IS or GTFO and leave those syrian people to be wiped out by assad. that's world diplomacy and international intrigue at a level far beyond where BO is capable of operating.
i know you're going to spin that into a republican something or other, but the fact is BO has done some good things (mostly domestically), I voted for him both times, but he royally fucked up in syria and putie knows it.
