Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey couldn't answer what exactly the U.S. was seeking in Syria Tuesday during questioning from Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.) about a resolution authorizing military action there:
DEMPSEY: The answer to whether I support additional support for the moderate opposition is yes.
CORKER: And this authorization will support those activities in addition to responding to the weapons of mass destruction.
DEMPSEY: I don't know how the resolution will evolve, but I support --
CORKER: What you're seeking. What is it you're seeking?
DEMPSEY: I can't answer that, what we're seeking.
