I have not opposed any action against Assad, merely pointing out difficulties.
I have advocated action and, UNLIKE YOU JIM, deplored the blocking of that action by your old Hard Left friends.
Military intervention?
Only a mad militaristic maniac would support that except as a last resort.
(But YOU do Jim. Right?)

The veto is not an excuse.
It has prevented Western powers from taking the action needed to depose Assad and stop the horror.
How about ONE WORD OF CONDEMNATION of those vetoes Jim?
