President Obama faces stiff resistance from the public to a military attack, with a new Pew Research Center poll revealing that 48 percent oppose and only 29 percent approve of U.S. retaliation for Syria’s use of chemical weapons.
“Obama has significant ground to make up in his own party,” added Pew. The percentages mirror the national average, 48 percent opposed to 29 percent in favor. Republicans are more divided: 35 percent favoring airstrikes and 40 percent opposed.
pew…that poll stinks.
Let that bunch of hypocrites at the UN determine the best course of action. And let UN forces take action if that is agreed upon. We are not the world’s cop and its none of our business. Syria’s well being or not has nothing to do with the US’s national interests.
