It sounds like the target is Assad himself, along with his brother and the general.
Maybe someone should tell Kerry that targeting a head of state is also banned under international treaties.
Also it sounds like he doesn’t care whether Congress authorizes it or not so that the whole Congressional debate is a charade. Imperial Presidency, indeed. “L’Etat c’est moi!” I’m really glad that Bush beat this jerk and I never thought I’d say that.

Are am I just wrong in being aggravated by this:
“@CBSNews: Watch Syria’s Assad compare Obama to George W. Bush, Sec. Kerry to Colin Powell – http://t.co/qVCPD652CK“
So the choice for American people is to listen to thid President, or Assad. So Assad gets to start his “charm” offensive and Obama will have to follow with his.
