Al Franken: Supported the Iraq War, Supports Syrian Strikes [View all]

Sen. Al Franken offered his support to the Obama Administration and its plans to have a military strike against the Assad Syrian government.

The attack is to chastise the Assad regime for an alleged chemical attack on rebels and civilians in August.

Speaking in St. Paul on Tuesday, Franken called the use of chemical weapons "unacceptable."

"There is no question that there was a massive chemical attack there," said Franken. "Doctors without Borders was there to confirm there were toxins. This is an outrage. It is hideous. There has to be a response."
