What the United States needs to do at this point is reaffirm our commitment that Assad must go and that Iran and Russia cannot be granted a sphere of influence in Syria, and that we will not sit down at the negotiating table to help broker Assad's victory in this fight.

There are still plenty of fighting forces inside of Syria who want to see Assad go. We should have been helping them from the very beginning.
