No, we are not able to judge Obama's actions a failure, especially after he removed Syria's nerve gas stockpiles and Assad did not use any for three years. And he did this without military action.
We don't need long term policy goals to say that Assad's actions were bad. But we do need them to judge whether ours were "successful" or effective, not to mention good or bad.
No special reason to believe Hillary would have reacted impulsively, ignoring diplomacy and prior agreements.
You get authoritarian style points for pronouncing the matter "done" before you hear anyone's response, though.
Dill, nothing says "success" or "good" like a cruise missile attack on an airfield failing to put even a single pothole in the runway.
Check that off the bucket list.
