coalition, so i think he made the right choice. >> senator inhoff, before the president made the decision to go to congress, you had been very public and critical of what you saw as the president's limited plan to strike at syria. best guess, sir, as a veteran of capitol hill, will congress approve the authorization for the use of force? >> first of all, i don't think they will. and chris, you for some reason, nobody wants to talk about the real serious problem here and that is the condition of our military today. a week ago, i said i would oppose going in and having mi military intervention. it may sound easy when people like secretary carey say it's going to be quick. this could be a war in the middle east, it's serious. you've got to realize what this president has done to our military and our military is is so degraded now.
