U.S. Dem. Senator Does Not Believe President Obama's Syrian Strategy Will Work In The Long Term

The Hill: Dem senator: Obama's Syria move won't work in 'long-term'

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said Sunday that she does not think President Obama's decision to send special operations forces to Syria is a strategy that will work in the long run.

Obama recently announced plans to send fewer than 50 special operations troops to Syria in an advisory role.
“I don't think it's a strategy that will work long-term,” Gillibrand said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

She also noted that she is opposed to escalating military involvement and sending in more troops. Instead, she favors an increased focus on countering the humanitarian crisis, saying the United States could be taking in more refugees, as Germany is.

WNU Editor: She wants to treat the symptoms (take in thousands of Syrian refugees) and not the cause (the multiple wars in the Middle East). Her policy will also fail .... and prolong the misery.
