What’s the other choice, to kiss up to Assad’s actions no matter what he does?
At least the US can try to be a sane hegemon.
The die was cast in 2011 when Obama, Clinton, McCain, Brennan, et al. teamed-up with the Saudis in launching a pro-sunni regime-change on Assad. In for a penny, in for pound. Want to really see the threat of Islamist terror increase? Give them total control of the mid-east.
Also, the idea we are going to "fix" the middle east is fools errand.

If terrorists could fly planes into our buildings 15 years ago, my guess is they could set off a few chemical weapons to make it look like someone else did it. Yeah, and I don’t believe they would have had any problem getting them over the last several years.
The motivation for terrorists wanting to overthrow Assad by using chemical weapons is easy to understand. Why Assad would use them is completetly insane. He’s not insane.
