Rep. Peter King Slams Obama for 'Clear Failure of Leadership'

On Fox News Sunday, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) slammed President Barack Obama for his “clear failure of leadership” on Syria. 

King said Obama has statutory and constitutional authority to strike Syria and criticized him for sending “mixed signals” to the world, especially to Iran. 

“If we can’t stop Syria on a red line with chemical weapons, how can anybody expect us to stop Iran with a red line on nuclear weapons?” King said.

King said if Obama “doesn’t want to the take action himself, then he should call us back into session tomorrow. We can’t be waiting nine, 10 days.”
