has our solution arrived?
While The White House weighs its options for an intervention in Syria, a veteran power player in Saudi Arabia is pushing a plan to topple the embattled country’s president, Bashar al-Assad. Prince Bandar bin Sultan al-Saud is trying to undermine Assad's regime by gaining the support of other nations. 
The Saudi leader has reportedly been traveling from the front lines of Syria to intelligence agencies worldwide with a simple message: my kingdom has the money needed to defeat Assad—and we're ready to use it.
this is looking more like what it should be not just us always footing the bill, taking charge, leading well we are now following we should not get involved alone or as the leader we have done enough in the middle east, time to come home and cut the grass.
has the US bitten off more than we can chew, is it all about power because that cost especially when you are creating and maintaining that power in a foreign country.
