U.S. Diplomats Call For Strikes Against Syrian President Assad

Dozens of U.S. diplomats have signed an internal memo lambasting President Barack Obama's strategy in Syria, demanding stronger military action and targeted airstrikes on the country's leader Bashar al-Assad.

The memo has been endorsed by 51 members of the State Department and slams Assad's repeated violation of a ceasefire agreement amid his country's five-year civil war, the New York Times reports.
