Outspoken Liz Warren stays silent on Syria

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren has been on the warpath against banks since going to Washington, but when it comes to launch­ing a war against Syria, she 
and other liberal Massachusetts 
Democrats suddenly don’t have much to say.

Warren, known for her outspoken stances, has turned timid on one of the most important issues a U.S. senator will ever face — whether to put American 
troops in another military conflict.

Asked to say whether she 
approves launching a strike against Syria, Warren’s press 
office — which churns out releases regularly on financial industry abuses — did not get back to the Herald.

This is curious because Warren and other Massachusetts Democrats had been harshly critical of the Bush administration’s handling of the war in Iraq. But now it’s different because Barack Obama is president and her former Senate colleague, John Kerry, is secretary of state.

We don’t take it personally, though. She showed similar 
reluctance a few months ago to comment on Obama’s decision to arm rebels against Syrian President Bashar Assad after he 
was accused of using chemical weapons.

What kind of democrat wants to go against “da foist black pwesident”?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Wonder of wonders....the Fat One from Flint has finally updated his website, and he IS going after Obama on this full-bore.

At least he’s a consistent lunatic.

[napscoordinator]

Why would she say anything? They haven’t even made a decision on the matter yet. Obama cannot make a decision to save his life. By the time, Obama finally makes his mind up, every Syrian could be dead and buried.
