You’re right. Europe has already imposed the sanctons- and from NYT here is US position, in significant part—

“With the sweeping sanctions it has imposed on Syria’s energy sector, the Obama administration has stepped up its efforts to isolate Bashar al-Assad’s regime, which earns as much as one-third of its income from oil exports.
The measures certainly look punitive – Washington has prohibited any Syrian petrol products from being imported into the US, and has forbidden any US citizens and companies from involvement in Syria’s oil sector or exporting any products to Syria.
It also blacklisted five Syrian government energy companies and froze all Syrian government assets in the US.”

Too many on the Board mirror the MSM— and seem to want to make Mr. Cain look inept. Invariably, he gives the right bulleted answers- albeit in abbreviated fashion.
In all these debates, I’ve never hear any of the other candidates contest his views. If some don’t wish to support him, that’s fine.. But, one shouldn’t manufacture critism that has no basis in fact.
But but but Syria doesn't export any oil! Some anti Cain posters said so earlier so it must be true!
