Brzezinski Joins Lugar Warning Against U.S. Role in Syria

President Barack Obama’s declaration that a Syrian use of chemical weapons would cross a “red line” was a mistake, according to two veteran U.S. foreign policy leaders who warned against deeper U.S. engagement there.

Obama’s setting of a “red line” if Bashar al-Assad’s regime used chemical weapons was made “without too much thought,” Zbigniew K. Brzezinski, a former national security adviser, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing this weekend.
