Syria? You want to intervene? Specifically what would you do? [View all]

What are the immediate steps you would take?
Where and with what components?
What groups are you helping? What happens when you leave?

I have no idea what to do in Syria? It is a mixed up hot mess.

Believe me.I want to stop the gas attacks and help. How?
It's brass tacks time. No general 'boots on the ground' shite or 'we must act to defend freedom'.
There has to be a specific plan with an endgame in mind or we are into one more bog of war.

The curve we should have been ahead of is waaaay behind us. Even at that point, getting ahead of that curve was problematic.
