The head of the Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA), Director of John Brennan said in an interview
with National Public Radio (NPR) the the bloodshed in
Syria was partially because of their role in the war.
"I think we
always like to say that we wish that we would have been
able to make a difference, in a way that would have
prevented the slide and the situation there," Director
of John Brennan said in an interview with National
Public Radio (NPR).
"There's no way
you can divorce yourself, emotionally or mentally, from
these situations that you play a role in," Brennan said,
adding that he “felt some responsibility for the
horrific bloodshed” in the Syria war.
He then went
onto predict that the terrorist forces loss in Aleppo
will not end the war in Syria.
"This
insurgency is not going to go away until there is some
type of viable and genuine political process that will
bring to power in Damascus a government that is
representative of the Syrian people,” he further stated.
He then went
onto admit that the USA has had little influence in
being able to shape events in Syria.
"As great a
country — as powerful a country — as the United States
is, we have, in many areas, limited ability to influence
the course of events," Brennan said.
