Sen. Kennedy: We can't let Syria gas attack 'go unanswered'

Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy has commented on the chemical weapons used in

Syria by President Bashar Assad on a rebel town. This event, which killed more than a dozen

civilians, is getting a lot of negative feedback from the United States. In particular, Senator Kennedy

said, ‘We can't let it go unanswered. If we do, our friends won't trust us and our enemies won't

respect us.’

Sen. Kennedy plans on reaching out to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Sen.

Kennedy wants Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis to consider intervention in Syria. Sen. Kennedy

does not feel that this action or discussion thereof should be ‘adversarial’.
