Needless to say such efforts will be much more difficult in Syria.
Perhaps the answer is because the A-10 is the best at a few niche missions, and those niche missions are still required. If it's because US military brass and lawmakers are hoping one will get shot down so they can finally retire the fleet, then they should all go to jail.
The A-10 isn't the be all and end all. But it's the best at performing a niche mission. CSAR and true CAS performed in a relatively permissive environment. The US must not decide whether the A-10 is needed, but whether it's core mission set is needed.
