Scalise opposes Syria resolution

Congressman Steve Scalise today issued the following statement regarding the anticipated vote in the House on a resolution authorizing the use of military force in Syria.

“After careful consideration and numerous briefings, I cannot support the Administration’s request for a resolution authorizing the use of military force in Syria,” Scalise said. “The Administration has not made the case that military action in Syria is in America’s best interest, and I have strong concerns that we will be involving ourselves in a civil war where there are bad actors on both sides.”
