Republicans Won’t Gain by Attacking Obama on Syria

June 12 (Bloomberg) -- What factors are influencing theObama administration as it weighs an intervention in Syria?

For perspective, look at last year’s decision by PresidentBarack Obama to deploy U.S. airpower over Libya, whichencapsulates some of the defining aspects of Obama’s foreignpolicy. It helps explain not only why the administration hasbeen so reluctant to act in Syria, but also why -- regardless ofwhat happens in Syria -- Republicans will find it hard todevelop a single, consistent attack on Obama’s foreign policy inthis year’s election.
