Because this administration was overpowered. outplayed. and outmatched. This administration consoled themselves with the mantra of "there is no military solution" rather than facing the reality that there is a clear military dimension to a political solution in Syria. That is what Russia and Iran have demonstrated. They have changed the military faction on the ground and created the terms for a political settlement much more favorable to their interests. I believe as a result the conflict will grind on. ISIS will grow stronger. and the refugees will keep coming. Unfortunately. Americas troubles in 2015 were not contained in Iraq and Syria.
