Well I was hoping I would not have to explain this...
Take what was said and promised at the start of all this (Google is your friend) and compare that with what transpired. Simple as that really.
Yes, another failure.Syria is a complete mess.
No, no, no. That does not follow.It was going to be a complete mess no matter what the US did.
The US meddled ... go back and see (Google is your friend), the US and the West contributed to the resulting cock-up.The US didn't create this situation and never had any reasonable option for preventing it, and it is in no way a US responsibility to "fix" it.
As the US had a hand in what has developed it DOES have a responsibility to help fix it.
In their own minds they certainly see themselves as being 'smart-guys'.I'm not sure any part in the US Government can be reasonably described as "smart guys", but at least on this occasion they were able to not wade in and make the mess our mess, which shows some vestige of smartness.
