Dempsey: US not tasked with changing Syria momentum
US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey told Congress on Tuesday that he had not been asked to change the momentum in the Syrian conflict, but instead develop options to degrade Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's military capabilities.
"I have never been told to change the momentum. I have been told to degrade capability," Dempsey told a Senate hearing. (Reuters)
