ISIS already has strongholds in Syria, while the Free Syrian Army desperately needs more U.S. assistance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Here's the problem the Free Syrian Army has. They really want to topple the regime in Damascus, and this is where most of the fight takes place, between Aleppo and Damascus for the Free Syrian Army.
The only people that have ever fought ISIS in Syria is not the regime; it is the Free Syrian Army.
The Syrian regime is helping the insurgency in Iraq and allowing all kinds of militants to come in and out, and go to Iraq to attack random soldiers and innocent people.
If Syria wants to be part of the international community, there are some conditions that they have to meet. And the first one is to stop embracing the terrorism.
If Assad continues to conduct strikes against the Free Syrian Army at will, it would be very difficult for them to have any success against ISIS.
We should be robustly assisting the Free Syrian Army with equipment and also with training.
ISIS is in many ways a creation of the Syrian regime.
I'm afraid you're gonna have to see more American military involvement in order to keep ISIS from spreading even further.
It is no exaggeration to say that Syria holds the key for nearly all of America's foreign policy goals in the Middle East. As Syria goes, so goes the region.
Assad has to go. I mean, the way that ISIS can recruit, and the rebels that are in the north, and all the chaos that's happening through a lot of Syria circles around a lot of people that do not like Assad.
