“This sounds like a Goldilocks approach. We’re looking for a solution that’s just right,” said Fred Hof, who worked in the Obama administration on Syria policy.

His criticism is focused on what’s happening in Syria.

“You cannot wage war effectively [against] this kind of enemy if you do this only from the air — even if the tempo, even if the quantity was increased dramatically,” Hof added.
