So you don't have to worry about him helping the needy begging for peace and aid around the world.
The problem with Syria is that Obama said in 2011 that Assad must go and was under the impression he was on his way out, giving the rebels hope. Then Obama talks of a red line that would all but cement a reason to confront Assad with force, giving the rebels more hope.

Obama should have kept his mouth shut if he was going to let hundreds of thousands of people die over 2 years and let Assad get away with using WMD on his own people.

I for one don't have a clue as to what our policies are going to be for people wishing for freedom and democracy around the world anymore and not sure I can trust what they say. You can bet the people crying for help probably feel the same way.
