And just what would they strike that would absolutely remove the threat of chemical weapons from Syrian government hands and from jihadist hands?
No one has offered a plan that relates to US security interests.
This is a mess. There is something to be said for not tolerating the chemical weapons use...but this administrations’ (and especially Kerry) most serious attempts to create a foreign policy face with Assad has been to Neville Chaimberlain with Assad. Then to feed the Al Queda weeds on the other side, as he has, just created more bad situations.
Even if there could be a right side to this, is there any reason for either or any side to believe that this administration will be willing to do more than flail?
