It was back in mid August, around the 17th or 18th, that Obama, no doubt arrogant over his calls for Mubarak and Gadaffi to leave 
their respective offices, stated that Syria’s Assad must go.
“The future of Syria must be determined by its people, but President Bashar al-Assad is standing in their way. For the sake of the Syrian people, the time has come for President Assad to step aside.”
This has clearly become the Obama doctrine and the point at the end of Obama’s stick is NATO.
