I doubt that. Syria is an area of several bad groups.
We were going in to remove Assad. Gaddafi was removed from Lybia, the Egyptian strong man was removed. The results in both Lybia and Egypt are not good.
Assad despite being one of the bad guys is looked upon as a protector by many Syrian minorities. Many people are not aware that the Saudis and Qataris are financing and arming some of the meanest operatives in Syria.
America by removing Assad early would have handed over the country easily to the Jihadists.
