Things are spinning of control. Omitted is why and who bears responsibility. Instead FPI accuses "dictator" Assad of what foreign invaders inflict on Syrians daily.
What else would PNAC say! It supports stepped up intervention. Diplomacy and sanctions haven't worked, it said.
"Instead, the United States - working with European allies, Turkey, and other regional partners - should advance a new strategy that uses combined airpower to impose a safe zone in northern Syria, where the country's armed opposition groups have de facto control of large territory, and the Assad regime's air defense systems are weaker and fewer in number."
PNAC wants both no-fly and safe zones imposed. Either or both are acts of war. Interventionists, of course, want pro-Western puppet governance replacing Assad. PNAC doesn't disguise its advocacy.
Accusations it makes are spurious. Western leaders make the same ones. "As the crisis in Syria worsens, sitting on the sidelines is no longer a feasible option for the United States," it says.
Washington, of course, was been directly involved since conflict erupted in early 2011. Obama officials planned it. Full-scale intervention assures Libya 2.0. Intervening in the internal affairs of other countries directly or through proxie violates fundamental international law.
PNAC left those facts unexplained. Instead it says US-recruited death squads "are bravely standing up to the Assad regime's escalating use of force against his own people."
He's defending, not attacking, them. All responsible leaders would do the same thing. PNAC, Washington, and other Western countries call self-defense aggression. What else would you expect them to say?
Syrians want foreign invaders defeated. They're grateful to have Assad defending them. Expect protracted conflict ahead. Syria's crisis won't be resolved easily or quickly. Success depends on defeating NATO's scourge.
