I'm a little scared. I need some hugs tonight.

69. Cool, good to know you support a military strike.

I'm fine with the US and its allies inflicting great pain on the Assad regime if they gassed heir own people. Not troops on the ground, not a war, but some sort of strike to let them know that we care. Bullies understand nothing less than a 2x4 to the head, as I learned growing up.

Here's the problem: I don't believe a #%*@ing word coming out of Washington, unless it comes from the mouth of a very select few. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Alan Grayson, perhaps Al Franken and Ron Wyden, and that's about it - let me know if I've forgotten any. The lying has become so flagrant and ubiquitous... well, I've never imagined that it would be like this, not in my country.

Here's Franken's position.

Franken, Klobuchar: Chemical weapons use must have consequences

Mark Zdechlik

Minnesota’s U.S. Senators are weighing in on a possible American military strike in Syria.

DFL Sen. Al Franken said he does not think the Obama administration needs congressional approval to launch a strike. He said there is little doubt that Syria’s Assad regime was behind chemical weapons attacks in the country.

Franken called the use of chemical weapons a violation of international norms that must have consequences.

“This cannot be allowed to stand,” he said in an interview. “Now, this again is not about another land war in the Middle East. This is about a strike that is going to either use cruise missiles or bombers, so this is not about U.S. troops on the ground.”
