U.S. Searches for a "Plan B" in Syria
(Foreign Policy) Josh Rogin - The White House is searching for a new strategy for removing President Bashar al-Assad. "There was a fundamental decision made at the highest level that we need a real Syria policy with more options for the president," one administration official said. There's a growing consensus inside the administration that the violence in Syria is not abating and that multinational diplomatic initiatives such as the plan put forth by UN special envoy Kofi Annan are not convincing Assad to yield power and step down.
