Lawmakers call for more US involvement in Syria

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is calling for greater United States involvement in Syria through the creation of safe zone that would allow the U.S. military to train opposition forces attempting to overthrow President Bashar Assad.

Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan said on CBS “Face the Nation” on Sunday that he doesn’t want to lure the United States into a “big boots, on-the-ground conflict.”
