Why are American officials surprised that Putin made a coalition without U.S.?

It isn’t surprising that Russia makes an agreement to share intelligence on ISIS with other countries, not including the U.S. So why were American officials so surprised that the Iraqi military’s Joint Operations Command was part of the intelligence agreement with Russia?

Obama said that compromise is required to end the fighting, specifically referring to the removal of Assad and his regime. Meanwhile, Russia sweeps in as the hero who tries to destroy one of the worst terrorist organizations of our time.

A recent article written on RedState described exactly what’s going on, and that is that Russia is filling in the gap that Obama has created. Obama looks like the, dare I say wimp, because the reality on the ground is that Assad ain’t leavin’ anytime soon. In the mean time ISIS/L grows stronger.

Putin accuses America of creating the terrorist organization by arming rebels in Iraq and Syria. However, Obama believes it is Assad’s crackdown that allowed the terrorist group to enter Syria, which enabled the group to expand their control. Thus, Obama feels Assad needs to leave and all the problems will be solved. I suppose over 200,000 deaths from the Syrian war and the massive influx of refugees isn’t a sign that we are past that point?

The sad part is that any new leader that the administration feels would be appropriate for the region will still need Russia’s help.
