When the President of the United States said that it is not a matter of when Bashar alAssad leaves but it is a matter of when. when the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and thenSecretary of Defense testified before our committee that it is inevitable that Bashar Assad will go. when the President of the United States continuously said time after time that we have a strategy and it is not anything to worry about. when we get out of Iraq and we draw redlines in Syria and dont do it. when we dont take any action after the redline is crossed. when his national security team. composed of Secretary of State Clinton. Secretary of Defense Panetta. and thenDirector of CIA David Petraeus all recommended training and arming the Free Syrian Army. he rejected it. So now we find ourselves with 240 thousand dead in Syria and more Syrian children in school in Lebanon than Lebanese children. Jordan. one of our best friends. has their very fabric threatened and unstable because of the huge number of refugees. We find a very unstable Middle East. and we find ISIL spread now to Libya. Lebanon.
