Syria's sudden uprising is a stark reminder of Obama's failed foreign policy

The stunning events that have unfolded in Syria over the past week have culminated in the sudden end to the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, more than a decade after he managed to hold on when civil war erupted.

Rebels led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group rapidly worked through the country, seizing Aleppo, Hama, and Homs, before finally entering the capital Damascus on Sunday. Shortly thereafter, they declared that Assad had fled.
