Rumsfeld Calls Obama's Syria Strategy 'Mindless' -- USA Today
Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says he's confounded by how the Obama administration has gone about explaining why a strike is in the USA's national interest.
"There really hasn't been any indication from the administration as to what our national interest is with respect to this particular situation," Rumsfeld, secretary of defense when the U.S. attacked Iran in 2003, said Wednesday evening on the Fox Business Network.
The most important issues in the region, Rumsfeld said, are "Iran's nuclear program and the relationship between Iran and Syria — the [Bashar] Assad regime — with respect to funding terrorists that go around killing innocent men, women and children, including Americans."

My Comment: Even I do not know what is the White House plans when it comes to Syria .... and I follow and study the news everyday. Aside from throwing a few missiles and bombs that cost a million dollars and up for two or three days .... and then walking away .... that about sums it up.

Rumsfeld hardly a "pundit" to be taken seriously. the plan, good or bad, is simply to punish Assad for using massive amounts of gas so as to warn him about further use of gas. I do suspect we would go beyond that in a was so as to help diminish his capability. Example: wipe out all air fioeld so Russian and iranian goodies can not be brought in.
Thank you Fred for your comment. I agree on your comment about Rumsfeld, as to bombing the airfields .... that is a military action that I can understand .... but I have doubts that this is what they are going to do.
