(113,243 posts)He was NEVER for the war in Iraq. He stated clearly when he voted for the resolution that it was based on getting weapon inspectors in and that he would stand against any invasion of Iraq if the weapon inspections proved force was not needed.

He's not saying he's FOR war in Syria. He's saying he's for some use of force against Assad's interests.

Gee - ya suppose he may know something a bit more about Assad and his current state of mind than you?
