“Because Barack Obama, two years ago, said ‘Assad must go,’ and, one year ago, said any use of chemical weapons crosses his ‘red line,’ Congress has no choice but to plunge America into yet another Mideast war. Can this be? Are we really, as a nation, required to go to war to make good the simple-minded statements of an untutored president who had no constitutional authority to issue his impulsive ultimata? Are we really required to go to war to get the egg off Obama’s face? Not since the War of Jenkins’ Ear has there been a dumber cause for a great country to go to war. Is there no way out?”
