Re: Senior Administration Official: ‘Very Little Doubt’ Assad Regime Behind Alleged C
My opinion is different than that of the White House, although its more similar to theirs than yours is, but again not exactly the same.
I don't claim to be an expert by any means whatsoever on the ins-and-outs of the Syrian rebels but ideally they would be something like the moderates in Libya that we supported with air strikes and support. People hark on the terrorist attack in Benghazi but Libya has otherwise been an extremely succesful foreign policy operation, the country's rebels are moderate, were supported by the international community, have been able to hold the country together fairly well to prevent more violence, and are getting better at doing so.
If your support of action is based on your third point, I was merely pointing out that the administration is NOT expressing an intent or desire to remove anyone. So, what did they call it...a "brief and limited" response...probably something like blowing up a few warehouses. That will do it.
As for the 'moderates' you wish to support..are they anything like the moderates in Egypt?
