He refused to answer the first question as to whether he supported the air strikes.

He also said that the "politics" in the Congress did not allow for an "AMU" agreement. What? So, we just do it because Congress is not willing to say "go"? This is crazy. If there is not enough support for war in Congress, then we should not go to war. Hoping that the political climate might change at some time in the future is meaningless as to what we should be doing now.

And shame on Rachel for not pushing on both these points.
