  • Summary: WASHINGTON D.C., UNITED STATES (SEPTEMBER 29, 2016) (REUTERS) MICHAEL RUBIN, A RESIDENT SCHOLAR AT THE AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE THINK TANK, SEATED FOR INTERVIEW (SOUNDBITE) (English) MICHAEL RUBIN, A RESIDENT SCHOLAR AT THE AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE THINK TANK, SAYING: "There's a conceit in Washington that we can have endless political debates, endless hand-wringing, and the situation on the ground will simply remain frozen in time until we deign to give a policy. Ultimately, I do believe that we had many more policy options when the uprising in Syria began. We blew many of our chances to prevent the situation from spinning out of control to the degree that it has already."
