It's probably those treasonous pussies at the State Dept who are peeing in their pants at the thought of 'offending' the Syrians and Iranians.
I don't know why we haven't already started bombing the staging areas in Syria. We have to know where they are.
All I know is I'm getting pretty tired of hearing about American GIs getting blown up and shot at and when we do manage to find some 'insurgents' they always seem to be carrying Syrian, Iranian, and Saudi passports.
Mines a real simple three part plan.
Flatten Damascus.
Foment popular revolution in Iran.
Threaten the Saudis with annihilation if they don't stop their shit.
Maybe I'm oversimplifying things but I really don't see a downside to my plan.

It makes sense, so far as I can tell.
If we are choosing a path that leads to more dead US servicemen, and to longer drawn out fighting increasing the overall death toll of Middle Eastern civilians, and to increased difficulty of helping establish decent, functional democratic governments, all because the State Department is afraid of hurting the feelings of known murderers and terrorists...
Then that really pisses me off. And I hope people with the power to push for us to take the better course, do so.
