It is in US interests for the regime in Syria to acquire control of all the territory within its borders. In fact, that is the ONLY interest we have there.
As long as that regime isn't an Iranian client like Assad.
That nightmare people were talking about Jimmy Carter having let happen has come true, Iran is taking over the Middle East.
