Imo the US should have three objectives, in this order:
1)Don't put large numbers of troops on the ground (as we learned from Iraq, this is likely to end up as a waste of lives and money, and would be damaging to US power)
2)Don't create conditions for ISIS or other Islamist groups to take over
3)Take out Assad, who is a brutal dictator, an implacable enemy of the US, and a destabilizing force in the region
Imo at this point the one way to accomplish all three objectives is to encourage a coup against Assad and a subsequent peace treaty between the government and the non-ISIS rebels
