Manchin urges delay on Syria US action until Congress debates
Sen Joe Manchin of West Virginia calls for congressional debate before any new Middle East military action. He opposes sending American troops to Syria to escalate a ground war, supports a limited three year AUMF, and backs repeals of Iraq and Afghanistan authorizations while warning against nation building in the region. He favors drones only against those planning to harm the U.S. but cautions Syria’s ISIL threat is not imminent.
