I really think that Syria does represent a real threat to our national security and I wish the administration would make a far stronger case. I mean, they're making the case that obviously Assad crossed the line using chemical weapons. But again, from my standpoint, it's the out of control nature of the chemical weapons and like you said, the loss of credibility of America that is really now at stake because this president has really backed us in a quarter drawing that red line.
