Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) told The Hill.<br />
The outspoken anti-war activist said any such action would plunge the United States into another war in the Middle East and embolden Islamist militants fighting Bashar Assad&#8217;s regime.<br />
“So what, we&#8217;re about to become Al Qaeda&#8217;s air force now?” Kucinich said. “This is a very, very serious matter that has broad implications internationally. And to try to minimize it by saying we&#8217;re just going to have a &#8218;targeted strike&#8216; — that&#8217;s an act of war. It&#8217;s not anything to be trifled with.” <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/global-affairs/middle-east-north-africa/319037-kucinich-syria-strike-will-turn-us-into-al-qaedas-air-force#ixzz2dEWDpqXo" rel="nofollow">http://thehill.com/blogs/global-affairs/middle-east-north-africa/319037-kucinich-syria-strike-will-turn-us-into-al-qaedas-air-force#ixzz2dEWDpqXo</a></p>
