Obama’s Next War

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

President Obama seems poised to launch a war on Syria in response to the latest, murderous use of chemical weapons there that Secretary of State Kerry denounced yesterday as a “moral outrage.”

Preparations are said to be underway for sea-launched cruise missile strikes on targets critical to the Syrian government in its civil war against opposition forces now dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood, al Qaeda and other Islamist enemies of the United States. Britain and perhaps other nations may provide supporting fire.

We should be under no illusion. Whether such interventions are justified on not – and they seem at least premature before inspectors on the ground confirm what happened – they probably won’t be the end of the matter. More likely, they will precipitate a terrible regional, and perhaps wider, war.
