Kate Bolduan broke down in tears on-air today as she saw this heartbreaking image of a little boy in Syria after having been pulled from the rubble of his home:

The image and situation is pretty horrible and I get how upsetting that is for Bolduan.
But this war has been waging in Syria for years now because the Muslim Brotherhood and other forces have been trying to oust Assad. They want a new Ottoman caliphate and they won’t stop until they get it. This is no Arab Spring. It’s a Muslim Brotherhood winter.
Tunisia. Egypt. Libya. Iraq. Syria. I’m sure there are more, but you get the point.
The falling of dictatorships is really opening the Middle East up to more carnage. Assad may be bad, but what eventually replaces him will be far worse. Egypt got lucky with Sisi fighting off the Muslim Brotherhood, but look at terrorist hell-hole Libya as a great example of what happens when a dictator is forced out of power.
And this is something Obama and Hillary have been pushing. But where are all the investigations into Obama and Hillary for sending weapons to Syria from Libya? Where are all the cries and protests about Obama arming so-called ‘moderate rebels’, who are really Islamists, to further this war for the caliphate? Don’t tell me we are only there to fight ISIS. We were in Syria fighting Assad before ISIS ever formed, and we were supporting the Islamist groups that became ISIS.
We can’t control the rest of the world, but we can hold our leaders responsible. But that’s not really happening. Nobody in the media really cares about holding Obama and Hillary accountable. Rather they just want to elect Hillary and validate Obama’s foreign policy disasters.
So pardon me if I don’t find this video of Bolduan crying particularly moving in light of all of this.
