Syria conflict: 'Chemical attacks kill hundreds'

Platapus · 08-30-13, 11:32 AM

I would like President Obama to provide the answers to three important questions.

1. What is the objective(s) of our military action in Syria?
2. How will we measure failure or success in our progress toward those objectives?
3. What is the exit criteria for success and for failure?

If the President can make these arguments, I would be more willing to support this proposed military action in Syria.

In my opinion, if the president can't answer these questions fully, we should not consider military action in any country.
