Syria’s Assad to Extend Rule!

Current policy is to attack any nation that harbors terror.
Why is Syria allowed to harbor terrorists that attack and kill our armed forces?
This is a major blunder in war strategy.
The Vietnam War was lost because of sanctuaries in neighboring countries, and sanctuaries in Syria and Iran will cause failure in Iraq unless current strategy is changed.
The war in Iraq is now in the General Pressure phase, where the enemy has been defeated, but will not accept the outcome.
To make Syria and Iran accept the outcome, the US must continue the attack.
Playing defense, as the US is now doing, is the weakest form of warfare, allowing the enemy to choose the time and place of battle. It is a sure path to defeat.
Offensive operations are the only solution, and that offensive must begin with Syria, and continue to Iran if necessary.
Only then will this war be successfully concluded.
