Ted Cruz: Trump had authority to attack Syria, but needs to talk to Congress for more…

Ted Cruz agreed this morning that Trump had the authority to attack Syria last night, or as he put it, to respond to an exigent circumstance with military force. But if there are any more military actions needed, then Trump needs to make the case to Congress to get the authority for war:

Cruz says some in Congress believe we should be in a protracted military conflict in Syria, but he thinks that would be a mistake.

I couldn’t agree more. After all if you take out Assad, then who takes his place? Right now that could be any number of things, but it looks to me like jihadis would take over the country – which is what they’ve been fighting for in the last 6 years. And that would be horrible for all the people living there, especially the Christian populations.

Cruz is right, there is no good answer for Syria.
