Hoping that the conflict in Syria has reached a turning point, the Obama administration, has considered having a deeper intervention to push the current President in Syria Bashar al-Assad from power. The administration has considered several different alternatives even though no decisions have been made. One of the alternatives, that are being considered, would be that they would directly provide arms to some opposition fighters.
The main urgent decision is whether NATO should set up surface-to-air missiles in Turkey. The chemicals could be carrying chemical weapons. Some of the strategists and administration officials think that the Syrian Air Force pilots might be afraid how the missiles batteries may be used.
Another option, that was mentioned earlier, providing the opposite fighters weapons rather than the continuous use in other countries. One of the riskier ideas was to put C.I.A. officers on the grounds in Syria. All the steps were considered before the presidential election.
Whether America should heavily intervene in another conflict is remained uncertain. Compared to Libya’s conflict Syria’s is far more complex. Officials continue to worry that risk or the intervention to too great to give a good reason for action. Other officials have argued that being more aggressive steps are necessary Syria by the loss in life there and the opening to deal a huge blow to Iran’s only ally in that region. America’s officials and independent specialists on Syria have said that the administration was reviewing its policy, in Syria, gain credibility and sway with opposition fighters.
The thoughts I have thought well typing this blog post was that I had no idea what half of this stuff actually means. I think, from what I understand that we are trying to help the conflict in Syria by intervening which could be a good thing? I honestly don’t know. When I read it I tried my best to understand what it was saying but I do not and I probably won’t understand it is saying for a while.
