On John Frederick’s Radio show, Senator Tim Kaine referred to our Syrian policy as a joke,

“In Syria, the strategy’s a joke,” he said on “The John Fredericks Show” broadcasting from Chesapeake, Va. “The idea that you can train 30 people and put them in a civil war featuring millions and have them be effective is highly fanciful,” said Kaine, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “You could tell they were Sisyphus trying to roll the boulder up the hill.” … He said Friday that the United States shares blame with other world powers for failing to address Syria, where a long-running civil war has spurred a mass migration from the country. “All of this is because the nations of the West haven’t come up with a real strategy about what to do with respect to Syria [and] the U.S. is right there on the fault list with everybody else,” Kaine said.

Senator Kaine added,

“All of this is because the nations of the West haven’t come up with a real strategy about what to do with respect to Syria [and] the U.S. is right there on the fault list with everybody else,” Kaine said. “It is a catastrophe inside Russia [and] the latest Russia involvement is going to make it worse,”

Kaine also expressed the opinion that the only way to bring a lasting peace to Syria is with the expulsion of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

“We all know that there needs to be a next chapter in Syria,” he said. “There is no way that Assad can be that future leader. “He is butchering his own people. It is the atrocities of Assad that have forced most of the refugees to leave.”

President Obama agrees that Assad must go while Russian President Putin supports Assad as the leader of the Syria.
