President Obama should seek Congressional approval before arming Syrian rebels
VoteVets Action Fund
Tell the U.S. Senate to pass legislation sponsored by Senators Chris Murphy and Tom Udall requiring the President to seek Congressional approval before sending weapons to Syrian rebels.
Why is this important?
I helped to train the Iraqi Army during my second tour, and their concern is that many of the anti-Assad forces are the same terrorists they've fought before and who continue to target them.
Plus, as Senator Tom Udall noted, once we introduce weapons, we have zero control over them. The United States "could turn over the weapons we're talking about and next day they end up in the hands of al-Qaida."
Moreover, there is no winning scenario when we get involved in other nations' civil wars and proxy wars.
On this point, Senator Chris Murphy said it best: "We have failed over and over again in our attempts to pull the strings of Middle Eastern politics."
Sign our petition and stand with Senators Murphy and Udall today.
