On Monday: As Congress weighs action on Syria and the world waits for President Barack Obama’s decision on military intervention, another body has been standing by, so far with limited involvement.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) confirmed and condemned the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons. But the alliance has yet to outline any foreseeable role in the conflict beyond defending NATO member Turkey, which borders Syria and has endorsed President Obama’s calls for a military strike.
NATO leadership does believe it can facilitate action by other means, however.
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen joins the program to discuss NATO’s potential for involvement in Syria, and the alliance’s role in the 21st century.
