most extreme militants now hold sway. daymon do you understand mass graves. one man identified his brother by the children s socks he had gone to buy when he disappeared. a nighttime execution was caught on tape. the obama administration, strategy until now, largely dependant on the geneva talks is left looking for new policy option. we need an america that leads which means an america that will bring together our allies and work to defend the moderates over the extremists in syria. so far it s rejecting moves from arming and training rebels to air strikes on regime forces. if you re not willing to put lives at risk, people think you simply don t care. because so many others are
