Bad idea.

(The Hill) — With the evident failure of an international peace plan designed to end the violence in Syria, recent actions by the Obama administration indicate the White House could be inching toward a military response, a Senate Armed Services Committee member said.

“I think they’re moving toward some more real action,” Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Ct.) told The Hill regarding the White House’s evolving position on Syria.

Lieberman, along with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), has been at the forefront of the congressional effort to provide military support to Syria.

“Every day that passes more people get killed,” Lieberman said. “It’s our moral obligation to help them.”

While the Obama administration has been steadfast in its desire for a diplomatic solution to the growing Syrian crisis, the sense that time is starting to run out has begun to resonate in the halls of the White House and The Pentagon.
