I watched a little of John Kerry&#8217;s statement to Congress this morning and he told us that the US has a &#8220;huge&#8221; national interest in attacking Syria, that being the containment of chemical weapons. It looks like that has already been accomplish since the only chemical weapons that have been used are entirely with the borders of Syria.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck Hagel told Congress that we have to use military force to insure the credibility of US military force &#8211; says the same guy who called the &#8216;surge&#8221; in Iraq a failure before it began.
