Obama Adviser Says Political Solution Possible in Syria

One of President Barack Obama’s top national security advisers said a political solution remains possible in Syria, even as the U.S. steps up its military involvement in the country’s civil war.

“A political settlement is the best way forward,” said Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing this weekend. “Of all of the answers out there, it’s for sure the least bad one that we have.”
