To me, Assad's days are numbered. Hopefully our lessons learned from the Iraq debacle can help Syria regroup much better and quicker.
If Obama asked Congress for an Authorization for Use of Force in Syria in 2013, he didn't have the votes. What lessons did we learn from Iraq? ISIS is a direct result of our misguided intervention in Iraq which spread like a cancer into Syria and now both countries are broken. Putin's argument against Syrian regime change is our failed intervention in Iraq and subsequent increase in sectarian violence. You will also need Iraq, Turkey, the Kurds, and Saudi Arabia to cooperate in addition to the aforementioned countries at a minimum.
