The United States should step up and “play our appropriate role” when it comes to the plight of millions of refugees trying to escape Syria’s unceasing civil war, said Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker.
The Tennessee Republican said the U.S. has “some degree of responsibility” for the humanitarian crisis created by a multi-faced war in Syria among rebels, the Islamic State and the government of Bashar Al-Assad. Congress never authorized a war in Syria, though Corker’s committee did pass a military authorization in 2013.
“If you look at what’s happening, all these refugees that are sadly having the plight that they are, people are beginning to think back to August 2013 and realizing we took no steps,” Corker told reporters Tuesday night. “The inaction by the administration in 2013 has hugely multiplied the disaster that’s taking place. I don’t think there’s any debate about that. And so therefore certainly the United States has some degree of responsibility here.”
Corker didn’t give a number of refugees and said he needed to talk to spending committees first, but he indicated he might come up with one as he turns to creating a “broader Middle East policy” to follow Congress’s now-doomed chances of blocking President Barack Obama deal with Iran.

What’s that? Finance terrorism on a horrifying scale, almost certainly be attached to 9/11 in some way or another, and get their main man Bush to go into Iraq instead?
Or their other role. Depicting Jews as animals in text books?
No, we don’t have any responsibility for them but if it will make you feeeeel better Bob, send ‘em $20 and a Starbucks gift card.
Why not concentrate on your constitutional duty— serving the state of Tennessee, not Syria or Iran you spineless fool.
He’s trying to outdo Turban Durbin.
Somebody at the DNC must have pics of Corker with a goat.
No, it should be the Saudis taking them in instead of Europe and the U.S.
We’ve seen the insight this clown has. No, sir, Sinator Corker.
Let’s take ZERO of them.

Send them to Corker/Obama’s new ally, Iran.
Come here, beautiful Muzzie..! Come on in..!
Bob Corker
Corker and Trump taking the same position.
Well .. if they allow the Syrians to come here .. it will be loaded with Jihadis ready to take America apart.
I hope people are ready to put a stop to it ..!!!!!
Corker’s just smoothing the way for Obama to commit the US to taking umpteen thousand Muslims from this latest so-called refugee crisis. The question is, is Corker intentionally helping Obama or is he that clueless?
There probably are some legitimate refugees, but then there are far more opportunistic, economic migrants who see a chance to get while the getting is good.
