Israel's Air Strike On Syria Will Impact U.S. Policy On Syria



Reported Israeli Airstrikes In Syria Could Accelerate U.S. Decision Process -- Washington Post

Israel’s reported airstrikes in Syria — and the threat of a retaliatory strike by the Syrian government — are likely to accelerate the decision-making of the Obama administration, which was already moving toward a sharp escalation of U.S. involvement in the two-year-old crisis.

Senior officials said the deployment of U.S. troops to Syria remains unlikely, but they have indicated that a decision will come within weeks on options ranging from the supply of weapons to the Syrian rebels to the use of U.S. aircraft and missiles to ground President Bashar al-Assad’s air power by destroying planes, runways and missile sites inside Syria.

My Comment: The rush to get the U.S. directly involved in the Syrian civil war is now gaining momentum among many in Washington. What's my take .... this bipartisan push is unfortunate .... because I know that it will influence the White House to get even more involved in Syria's civil war .... including supplying weapons to the rebels.
