Josh Rogin reports on the debate over whether the U.S. should intervene in Syria, where strongman Bashar al-Assad is killing and torturing his own citizens. Rogin discusses the views of Senators John McCain and Carl Levin, and then writes this:
McCain also quoted CENTCOM chief Gen. James Mattis, who testified Tuesday that “Assad is clearly achieving what he wants to achieve” that his military campaign is “gaining physical momentum on the battlefield.” Mattis also noted that Assad’s downfall would be “the biggest strategic setback for Iran in 25 years.”
