Hagel: "No Western-led invasion of Syria & not time to attack Iran"
Via FLC
"... "We've got to understand great-power limitations. There
are so many uncontrollable variables at play in Syria and the Middle East,"
Hagel said. "You work through the multilateral institutions that are available,
the U.N., the Arab league. The last thing you want is an American-led or
Western-led invasion into Syria."
On Iran, Hagel said that polls
available at the time showed that the vast majority of both Americans and
Israelis didn't think it wise for Israel to attack Iran in the near term.
There's plenty more time to seek a diplomatic solution, he said.
"The two
options -- attack Iran or live with a nuclear-armed Iran -- may be eventually
where we are. But I believe most people in both Israel and the United States
think there's a ways to go before we get to those," Hagel said. "I think Obama
is handling this exactly the right way. I can understand differences between
Obama and the Israeli prime minister, but we have differences with all our
allies."..."
