This rebuke of Biden’s Syria policy comes as the White House continues to negotiate a return to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran — a deal with a key Assad backer that granted Damascus new funds to wage war against Syrian civilians...
“Propped up by Russia and Iran, the Assad regime continues profiting from its crimes against humanity and has diverted millions in aid to fill its own coffers. There is no solution to the crisis in Syria as long as Assad remains,” ...
The administration, more than failing to embrace its Caesar sanctions authorities, has also hollowed out the law by granting waivers to energy projects that run through Syria. The Arab Gas Pipeline and other electricity projects intended to supply Lebanon with energy run afoul of the law, triggering U.S. sanctions, the Caesar Act’s proponents argue. But the administration assured Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt that these projects would not trigger U.S. sanctions. In addition, last November, the Treasury Department quietly issued a waiver that exempts U.S.–Syria transactions from Caesar sanctions if they have to do with reconstruction efforts in the country — signaling that Washington was easing up on its previous objections to more funds entering the country.
Meanwhile, Washington continues to lack a comprehensive approach to countering the trafficking of Captagon, an amphetamine that the Syrian government has produced at a large scale to fund its military operations. For its part, Congress has only complicated U.S. policy toward Syria.

For people who want to know the TRUTH about Syria and our siding with the terrorists, this is a Frontline report:

Not all rebels were good guys but Assad is still terrible
“Not all rebels were good guys but Assad is still terrible”
He was terrible to ISIS, as Frontline shows, but it’s clear that he treated Christians FAR BETTER than anyone we’re aligned with in that part of the world (including Iraq and Egypt), and he also left others alone, as long as they didn’t try to seize power. In fact, Syria was doing quite well economically under Assad.
Bummer that the media/Soros/DNC had to destroy the country - still don’t know why, either.

As to twisted Soros, the only ones he has helped so far outside the US are the Arab “palestinians”
*** Not all rebels were good guys but Assad is still terrible ***
Wasn’t it you who posted the story of the woman, Afraa Hashem yesterday forgetting she was an active participant in the Arab Spring in head chopper central?
It wasn’t Assad posting videos of gleefully slicing the head off a twelve year old, cutting the bodies of children in two across the waistline, then rearranging the bottom halves with different top halves for their parents to sort out in Deir Ezzor.
Or posting White Helmets fake rescues or searching for bodies in their false flag productions.
But Assad who went openly to work, when the Western Media published lies that he had fled the country, drove himself in his Honda Civic, unaccompanied by security to the front lines, and to visit towns where rebels had killed residents is terrible.
He was duly elected in a UN certified election and remains very popular especially among the Christians. I don’t think for a moment he used chemicals but rather al Qaeda affiliates would have no qualms to use chemicals in a false flag.
Some Syrian propaganda but I don’t think a thug could even fake the admiration he gets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1_Tyi5RZ6Q&t=13s
1) Notice the hostility toward Russia started around 2009 when Syria refused a gas pipeline from Qatar to undercut Russian gas. 2) Eject Russia from Syria. 3)Push Hezbollah back to Iran. 4) Oil for Israel.
