Good man, we should all support him.
Somehow there seems to be some reluctance of just assigning a commando, infiltrate, and get rid of the worst dictators without official war and destroying infrastructure. I wonder why.

It's against international law, or the Geneva convention, either or both I forget which.

I always considered the Syrian civil war an internal matter for the Syrians, I have no idea what the U.S. was thinking when she got involved, as far as I can tell Syria has no strategic or economic value to us. the extent of the U.S. involvement should have been as a third party envoy trying to broker peace, not as an arms supplier for the rebels.
