Do We Even Know What In The Hell We Are Doing In Syria?
We are probably the only people involved in the fighting in Syria right now that do not have a strategic goal for being there. We are there reflexively. ISIS is bad — we don’t know how it is worse than Assad’s regime or Lebanese Hezbollah or al Qaeda or the Iranian regime but we KNOW it is.
