No-brainer
In a question and answer session on Friday, Lt. Colonel Bill Connor discussed the history and geopolitical importance of the current situation in Syria. Connor served in Kuwait twice after the Gulf war in the early 1990s, and won the Bronze Star for his efforts in Afghanistan. He also served in Sinai and Egypt on peacekeeping duties which gives him unique insight into the complexities regarding the Middle East. Connor gave his analysis regarding Syria and also addressed recent claims by John McCain and Lindsey Graham supporting the attack in Syria, as well as detailing important facts about the war unknown to most Americans. He said that he was considering running for Lindsey Graham's Senate seat, but had not yet decided whether it was the right course of action.
Connor said it was plausible that the rebel forces were behind the sarin gas attacks blamed on Assad's regime, because the US does not currently have all the facts about the situation and it would be a much more logical course of action for the rebels than Assad. "If Assad did this, he'd be the stupidest military leader on the face of the earth," he said, later continuing "If I'm a rebel commander, I would love for the whole would to be on my side against Assad." He noted that both Assad and the Russian government had alleged that the attacks were perpetrated by rebels.
