Washington (CNN) – Two leading Republican lawmakers said Tuesday that reports of chemical weapons use in Syria, if true, mean the president's threshold for involvement in the country's civil war has been met.
Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who have led calls in Congress for greater U.S. involvement in Syria, issued a joint statement saying the attacks, if verified, would demand a response from President Barack Obama.
“If today’s reports are substantiated, the President’s red line has been crossed, and we would urge him to take immediate action to impose the consequences he has promised," the senators wrote.

If US enters into hostilities, it is fighting directly with Russia, not smart.

Then McGraham can prance on over there and fight it on their own.
These are the same scumbags who led the cheerleading squad to get involved in Libya before deciding to be outraged about Benghazi.

Time to draw a new “red line” I guess.

Graham and McCain are idiots. Oliver North emphatically states the so called chemical weapons are not. That they haven’t been used yet. Why drag us into anotherI unwinnable situation?

If Syria is allowed to use WMD’s, everyone else can use them as well.

Rand Paul had Lispy and McQueeg pegged dead-on. Apparently those two DO actually see every square inch as battlespace.
Screw that... no war in Syria unless we get a declaration from Congress... which won’t happen.

Nah. Obama’s already in the area. I vote that he should go to see if the rumours are true. If he doesn’t come back, oh well—we’ll know.

I will be firmly among the anti-war crowd this time. Had enough of this sh*t of expending American blood and treasure for radical muslims.
