No surprise that Biden is completely in synch with our ongoing regime change wars and sanctions policies. If, as Daniel fears, our troops come under attack Biden and his enablers will be rightfully pilloried. Benghazi x 10.
Joshua Landis (a great Twitter follow) has posited that Syria at this point is really just a proxy for draining Russia of resources by forcing Russia to prop up the Assad regime. That's the primary reason why, in his view, the US is keeping Syria's very meager oil supplies and more considerable agricultural supplies out of Assad's control: they want Syria to be economically dependent on Russia and unable to provide for itself, so that Russia has to bleed resources.
Horrible cynicism that is causing tremendous suffering among the Syrian people.

Forwarded to my Congressclown, for what good it'll do.
Need I really spell out why the United States is not leaving Syria?
Hint: neither oil nor pipelines have anything to do with it.
