Right on cue ...
Syria strategy can’t rely solely on military might
EXCERPT
But the fact that Syria offers no perfect outcomes or options does not mean that all possible outcomes are equally undesirable. It remains in the United States’ interest now as two years ago to see more moderate forces prevail. This can’t be achieved with one or two volleys of cruise missiles. It will require patience and commitment.
The United States can’t dictate the outcome in Syria, and it would be foolish to send ground troops in an effort to do so. But by combining military measures with training, weapons supplies and diplomacy, it could exercise considerable influence. The military measures could include destroying forces involved in chemical weapons use and elements of the Syrian air force that have been used to target civilians, as well as helping to carve out a safe zone for rebels and the civilian populations they are seeking to protect.
Such military action should be seen as one component of a policy that finally recognizes a U.S. interest in helping to shape Syria’s future.
Ah yes!
Thank you so much, dearest maggief!!!
So, the 30 minute delay was productive after all.
WOW
“.....as well as helping to carve out a safe zone for rebels and the civilian populations they are seeking to protect.”
Who are they kidding here? These ‘rebels’ are AQ terrorist and are killing civilians, some even going so far as to dine on their hearts for crying out loud!! This is ridiculous, but I am sure the bleeding hearts will swallow it hook line and sinker. Our country is doomed
