Oil pipelines, extremists in Syria, "American Values" - "There's no denying the degree of chaos that has taken root in that country. That is primarily because of the failures of the Assad regime to unite that country, in fact, that country is now starting to break down along sectarian lines. We have seen extremists try to establish footholds there, capitalizing on that chaos, that's obviously what ISIL has done, we've seen other extremist organizations do that, and that is our principle concern, is making sure that extremist organizations can't capitalize on that chaos to carry out attacks against the United States. We continue to be very concerned about the broader security situation inside of Syria and just the reports you cited without being able to confirm the authenticity of those reports, I do think they paint a picture consistent with our sense of the widespread chaos in that country." close
