Problem. Im told by senior aides it was only in the last couple of days that he made the decision that hes going to ramp up u. S. Air strikes not just in iraq beyond the 150 or so weve already seen there, but that hes going to expand it across the border into syria as well. Another big reversal as well for the president is the fact that he is now talking about expanding support to the Syrian Rebels so he can use them as Ground Troops while u. S. Air strikes go over syria in the days ahead. Hes now authorized those air strikes. We dont know how soon theyll come. Dramatic reversal because for three years the president has not wanted to ramp up that support to those Syrian Rebels. That is why republicans like mitt romney tonight are saying this is too little too late. Listen. Ive made it clear that we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country wherever they are. That means i will not hesitate to take action against isil in syria as well as iraq. This is a core principle of my pres
