Rep. Adam Kinzinger: "there's a lot of confusion among our allies" on Syria policy

Andrew Tabler of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy said the U.S. needs to become more involved in Syria if the Obama administration wishes to see any change in conditions conducive to American interests Wednesday in a House Foreign Affairs committee hearing.

While the best future course of action is hotly debated, Tabler noted, the White House’s Syrian policy is not working. “What we’re doing until now is not working in terms of pursuing our interests, whether they’re getting Assad to step aside or to undermine extremism in the region,” the witness said.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R., Ill.) added he was not sure if “anybody really knows what our policy is right now.”
