Thompson Releases Statement on Syria
Bellefonte – U.S. Representative Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson, R-Howard, today released the following statement regarding President Obama's decision to seek congressional authorization for the use of force against Syria.
"I commend the President for suggesting that he will seek congressional approval for any military actions against Syria. While the reports of chemical weapons usage are deeply troubling and there has been a profound loss of civilian lives, many questions remain unanswered. I am pleased the United Nations placed an investigative team on the ground to collect additional evidence. Despite the President’s conclusion that the United States should take military action against the Assad Regime, I believe it remains very unclear as to what goals America’s intervention would achieve. I look forward to hearing more from the White House and to having a robust debate in the House."
