Clinton is widely seen to have disagreed with President Barack Obama's policy on Syria, which many people ( me included ) believe has been an abject failure. It was startling, for example, to hear Pence describe a Syria policy so sharply at odds with what Trump has been outlining. Until now, Trump's campaign has been extraordinarily vague on Syria policy, talking mostly about the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, and how he would "knock the hell" out of themRegarding Assad, Trump's musings suggest a hands-off approach. But, when it came to Syria and Russia, Pence certainly didn't defend Trump's policy. Would the United States really be willing to shoot down a Russian plane to protect Syrians in a no-fly zone created by America and its allies?
