Rep. Eliot L. Engel
Top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee
I believe that Congress must authorize the Commander-in-Chief to use limited military force against the Assad regime,
and I hope my colleagues will join me in supporting such an authorization.
Sen. Bob Corker
Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
While I’m opposed to American boots on the ground in Syria, I would support surgical, proportional military
strikes given the strong evidence of the Assad regime’s continued use of chemical warfare.
Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin
Top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Assad’s blatant use of chemical weapons against the people of Syria flies in the face of the rules of war and, for the sake of America’s national security
and the stability of the region, we cannot turn a blind eye to this heinous act.
