FOREIGN POLICY DISARRAY: Austin Bay: As Assad Continues to Wipe Out Syria, State Dept. Dissenters Confront Obama.
Dissenting State Department officials are demanding President Barack Obama wage war on the Assad dictatorship—which is a short step away from demanding regime change.
Late on June 16 The Wall Street Journal reported that the “near collapse” of the current ceasefire had spurred 51 “mid-to high-level State Department officers involved with advising on Syria policy” to sign a “dissent channel cable” calling on the Obama Administration to target Syria’s Assad regime with repeated “military strikes.”
The President isn’t doing his job. People are starting to point that out.
