In fact, as Hillary notes, there is another option, there is a diplomatic way forward, there is conflict resolution. [Obama] could be not just going to Saudi Arabia and having regional governments that are totally dependent on us for their security—he could have Iran at the table, he could have the Syrian government at the table. These things are never said to the American public, but they are essential for conflict resolution. He could go to the United Nations and not just give a speech, but get the Russians to buy in for a legitimate international effort at conflict resolution. But that’s not what Obama will do. Instead, he has Secretary of State John Kerry say that having Iran at the table would be inappropriate until Tehran accepts the fatally flawed premises of Washington Syria policy and stops supporting the Assad government. Moreover, Obama is asking for—and getting—bipartisan support for more U.S. assistance to so-called moderate Syrian oppositionists—who, as Hillary points out, are the rebels who kidnapped Steve Sotloff and sold him to ISIS to be beheaded.
