In a blistering takedown of U.S. policy toward Syria, Rep. Adam Kinzinger on Thursday said its time to act in the war-torn nation as dictator Bashar Assads forces prepare to launch an assault on Idlib that many fear could one of the bloodiest campaigns in the ongoing war.
Mr. Kinzinger, Illinois Republican and an outspoken voice on national security issues, argued in an op-ed for Defense One that the U.S. approach in Syria both during the Obama administration and now under President Trump has been an abject failure. While he stressed that an all-out ground invasion isnt the answer, he said its long past time for a comprehensive strategy that includes ousting Mr. Assad from power.
Our lack of a strategy in Syria has been a failing practice. The initial attacks already happening in Idlib are just a prelude to the civilian bloodbath that the world will soon witness if Assad once again uses chemical weapons on his own people, he wrote. We cannot stand idly by and allow this humanitarian crisis to compound further.
Its time to act.

Then go ahead and act, you jackass.
I voted for Donald J. Trump because I got sick of our Sunni Islamic government in Washington. If you think this is such a crisis, dude, then get your ass over to Syria and join a rebel group ISIS yourself.
Precisely.
Hype, FUD.
No one is attacking Idlib as long as Turkey keeps pouring in troops - not the Syrians nor the Russians want to face the Turks in battle.
At Tanif is a a different matter. located in the south along the Iraq border.
It ain’t our biz. Let them kill themselves...and the Russians too.
Kick him out of a helicopter somewhere over Syria.
Okay, his children can go first.
Dear Adam, I am not a wealthy man, but I am more than willing to purchase you an airline ticket and an Ak-47 so that you can go to Syria and implement your idea.
Didn’t Kinzinger kill poor Hattie Carroll?
Its time to act by pulling out.
This is not our problem.
Just because obama phuqued up Syria doesnt mean theres much good we could do there now. (And If the rep thinks he knows a way we could help repair obamas Syrian mess, he should lay it out clearly so we can look it over. My bet is he hasnt a clue ...)
Not to worry Dear, it's Representative Kinzinger's district.
Strap this fool in a chute and drop him in as the first wave.
Another brilliant idiot. yuck yuck lets create another power vacuum in the ME and see what happens yuck yuck....
And then what? This did not work so well in Libya. These smart people with none of the answers.
Before Chicago becomes Damascus.
Barbara Lee was the only member of congress to vote against the AUMF and has pointed out that the AUMF has been used in 20 different countries by 3 different presidents.
Not our circus and certainly not our monkeys.
Kinzinger getting barking orders from Bill Kristol, Jeb and the rest of the neo-con clan?
