The Brody File has come up with a new word: "Syriacare." Just like Obamacare, it's complicated and a mess and President Obama is pushing a plan that more than half of the country disagrees with it.

Where does The Brody File begin with Syria? This is like a seven-layer cake. There are so many layers to tear through but how about we start with this: Why exactly would we get involved in a conflict when it’s bad guys vs. bad guys?
