U.S. Report Dismisses Syrian Threat

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States would require a tiny portion of its
military might to paralyze Syria's air force, a report said.
The Institute for the Study of War asserted that the U.S. military would
require no more than 24 aircraft and three surface vessels to degrade the
regime of President Bashar Assad. In a report, the institute, funded by
Congress, said the U.S. military campaign would not require the entry of
American aircraft into Syrian air space.
