House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) said over the weekend that President Joe Biden failed again with the recent collapse of Syria because there was an opportunity to coordinate with the Turkish government and resolve a situation with the Kurds.

Turner made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” when asked about the stunning collapse of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has fled to Russia.

“You know, one of the things that we do see here, though, is this is a diplomatic failure with respect to the United States and Turkey,” he said. “You know, the U.S. has troops in Syria. This is on the border of Turkey. Turkey is a NATO ally. The United States is working with the Kurds.”

“This really could have been an opportunity for the United States to work to try to resolve the issue between the Kurds, Turkey, and the United States and working with Turkish interests in Syria,” he continued. “Hopefully, this could be an opportunity where there could be a diplomatic support there that hopefully could have – you know, help in this transition in Syria.”

He added that President-elect Donald Trump “does absolutely support the Kurds” and he’s “going to look for a diplomatic solution.”
