Forum Post: Pentagon warns that intervention in Syria could lead to confrontation with Russia

Times Pentagon correspondent Elizabeth Bumiller writes in her article, datelined March 11, that "senior Pentagon officials" told her that any U.S. intervention in Syria, has "the potential for starting a proxy war with Iran or Russia, two crucial allies of Syria." And even more ominously, Michele Flournoy, a former top Pentagon official, said in Washington last week, that "If we jump in with purely military instruments as the U.S., absent a broader strategy, we could very quickly hasten reactions from others, namely Russia and Iran, to bolster the regime AND START U.S. DOWN A ROAD TOWARDS GREATER CONFRONTATION."
