Confessore: ‘Fascinating’ To See Obama Alumni Praising the Syria Strikes

‘— which really suggests how much there was a desire for some kind of action’

EXCERPT:

CONFESSORE: "Look, the important thing is the pillars of foreign policy that David mentions in that column. Engagement with China, care with Russia, and to follow that path and get more on base with what have been the alliances that have propelled our strength and our projection of power around the world is actually — it’s extremely important if you can keep it up. Our allies were worried up until now. They were constantly sending up flares about alliances and NATO and U.S. military force. So I think this is all reassuring and it's also fascinating to that you saw some Obama alumni praising those strikes in Syria which really suggests how much there was a desire for some kind of action there and President Obama was the lid on it for a long time, for better or for worse."
