Not contesting their Syria policy has been unsuccessful. But is the word "oversaw" correct there?

Maybe there's something more precise. But U.S. was far more involved in this than it was in Rwandan genocide, I think?

Yes. But problem is US has conflicting goals on both sides of a civil war. How are they "overseeing" civil war?

"Oversee" isn't the hill I'm going to die on in this argument, am open to a better one / probably used the wrong one.

Fair enough. Just think all criticisms (incl my own) should be cognizant of where entry points really were.
