same thing happened in iraq, we get this all the time, we were supposed to do go in, it wasn t there, the whole thing was a big fiasco and they say syria is the same thing. i don t know how you convince them it isn t. in iraq it was the allegation that suddam hussein had those weapons. in syria it s the fact that he used those weapons. there s overwhelming evidence to that fact. you can think of a lot of reasons not to react to this but the fact that it s not the use of chemical weapons by suddam hussein is not one of them. all right. now, my support of such an action is hinged upon a lucid plan. and i don t expect president obama to tell me the plan because if it s a military plan, you don t give it to your enemies, but i m expecting the united states, if they go in, to go in in a surgical way, to do a responsible military campaign that damages assad and that s it. that s what i m supporting here.
that this president in libya shows that he s perfectly willing to go forward with things that he deems necessary with or without congress, he would have put this mission which the military says is all planned out into place and he suddenly pulled back and decided to seek congressional approval. that s too risky for him. he s not going to go by himself. it s too risky. if he had maybe britain and france behind him, he would. but hu-huh. how do you feel about this whole issue? i think it s never a good thing when the president of the united states, any president, warnings are disregarded and ignored and nothing happens. the credibility of president of the united states is a resource for the country and to a great extent for the world and the united states is still the sole superpower and it s important when the president of the united states warns bashar al assad not to do something, he goes ahead and does it anyway, that there were consequences to that.
