The USA has a long history of humanitarian interventions: Kosovo, Iraq, Libya,etc. The British Parliament has, at a minimum, forced those in the US to take a bit more time to formulate a coherent plan on Syria before taking action. One can hope anyway!Commander Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602902461964252463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122629330054677829.post-80159406206064051582013-09-05T01:34:18.907-07:002013-09-05T01:34:18.907-07:00Getting the approval from congress is different to...Getting the approval from congress is different to a UN approval, I'm struggling to see the U.S motives in attacking Syria as I'm not buying the use of chemical weapons and treat to near by allies as their real reason.<br /><br />interesting post.<br /><br />Gary, Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563239549634871396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122629330054677829.post-91664376792773960422013-09-03T08:34:47.228-07:002013-09-03T08:34:47.228-07:00Thanks Hail Caesar for reading and your comments. ...Thanks Hail Caesar for reading and your comments. The legal authority would be the President's Constitutional duty to act C in C. He has a responsibility to defend our country and violation of chemical warfare is a direct threat to the US and particularly to our regional allies (Turkey, Israel, etc.). He is pursing a Congressional sanction which will, if approved, widen his legal mandate.<br /><br />Osama and the Russians -- I presume you mean the Mujahadeen...?
