The missing Sen. Mitch McConnell

A good editorial from the Courier-Journal:
Mr. McConnell, leader of the Senate’s Republican minority, is the last of the four top party leaders in Congress to announce whether the United States should launch a military strike (in Syria).

...Yet Mr. McConnell used his appearance on the Senate floor Tuesday to denounce President Obama — who had called early on for military action — for “timid, reluctant leadership.”

Mr. McConnell’s own timidity on this pressing international crisis is deplorable. It’s even more deplorable that, in an election season, he tried to shift the blame elsewhere.
