Newsmax quotes Rafik Hariri Center Resident Senior Fellow Frederic C. Hof on why President Obama’s decision to send US special operations forces to Syria will not be enough to change the situation significantly:
“Deploying a handful of US special operations forces to Syria will not change this situation significantly,” said Frederic Hof, former special advisor for the transition in Syria at the US State Department.
“It is a Band-Aid of sorts, although a potentially useful one,” added Hof, who is now a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council think tank.
