This why I hate the Republicans and the right-wing. They constantly lie and when their past actions look like mistakes, they claim the Democrats were responsible. Unlike you, I pay attention to the news and remember events as they happened, not the whitewashing revisions that start getting spread a few years after the fact.
In 2013, the Republicans were outraged Obama was not planning a major offensive into Syria to overthrow Assad.

Republicans implore Obama: Get off the sidelines on Syria issue
August 25, 2013
Congressional Republicans on Sunday ratcheted up pressure on the White House to intervene in Syria, saying the United States “has sat on the sidelines for too long” amid increasing evidence that the Assad regime used chemical weapons on civilians.
They called for action as President Obama weighs evidence of a toxic attack in suburban Damascus. Several hundred Syrians, including women and children, were killed in Wednesday’s artillery assault, though the exact death toll and details of the attack remain murky."
