The Obama administration has mishandled Syria for 17 months now, since the revolt began,? said Elliott Abrams, a former national security adviser for George W. Bush.
?Their main goal has appeared to be kicking it down the road until after the U.S. election, rather than helping the rebels remove the Assad regime,? Abrams said. ?Of course they don?t want to talk about it much, because they can?t really explain why it was in the interest of the United States to stand back, watch the bloodshed rise, and do nothing but make speeches.?
Others viewed the omission of Syria as proof the administration has not settled on a concrete policy.
?If Obama had a policy [on Syria] they would talk about it and defend it,? explained Michael Rubin, a Middle East expert and former Pentagon adviser on Iran and Iraq. ?The fact they won?t talk about it is a sign they are asleep at the switch.?
Syrian opposition leaders have petitioned the Obama administration to provide its troops with desperately needed weapons. The administration has not yet commented on the opposition?s request and has mostly avoided discussing the issue in public forums.
?The Obama campaign strategically wants to avoid any discussion of Syria because it?s one of the most striking failures of this administration,? explained one senior foreign policy adviser on Capitol
