Hillary Clinton supports president on Syria

17. Too much wiggle room in statement

“Secretary Clinton supports the president's effort to enlist the Congress in pursuing a strong and targeted response to the Assad regime's horrific use of chemical weapons," said a senior aide to Clinton in her camp’s first response since the president laid out his plan to seek congressional approval for a strike.

Sec. Clinton should be forced to go on record about this. This statement above is not hers. It is what an aide says is her statement. It is also a very ambiguous statement. One could read this statement to mean that Sec. Clinton only supports the President involving Congress. One could also interpret it to mean that she approves going to Congress and attacking Syria. There is too much wiggle room in this statement and it's not even her statement but her aide saying it's hers. She needs to answer: 1. Do you support the President involving Congress on the Syria question. 2. Do you support bombing Syria as the President has proposed? I'd also ask her a third question. 3. If Congress says no should that be the end of it or do you think the President has the authority on his own to bomb Syria?
