Aderholt Statement on Syria
August 31, 2013
"The Rose Garden speech today is a realization by the president that he has not made his case on taking action in Syria to Congress and the American people.
The one thing President Obama and I agree on at this point is that he should not go forward without Congressional authorization.
The speech leaves many questions such as who exactly are the 'good guys' in this conflict? And how is American involvement not the fuel for the fire the Muslim Brotherhood and extremist are trying to ignite throughout the region?
Cruise missiles are not a strategy. The President by now should see that foreign policy is far more complex than that."
