A letter to President Obama signed by Representatives Lynn Jenkins and Kevin Yoder and 113 colleagues urges careful handling of U.S. force engagement options in Syria. The bipartisan note stresses constitutional process and cautious planning ahead of any major action.
The letter urges President to seek congressional authorization before any U S military force in Syria citing the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution of 1973. It cites Libya precedent and warns that acting without authorization risks constitutional separation of powers and calls for Congress to reconvene if action is deemed necessary.
Readers on Facebook weigh in on US plans to attack Syria after alleged chemical weapon use. Reactions span support for intervention to calls for nonmilitary action and concern about war versus domestic needs.
Rick Jensen argues the United States must verify Syria violated the Geneva Protocol before bombing. He notes historical WMD claims, Obama’s rhetoric, and the UNCLEAR evidence, urging restraint until independent verification and U.N. authority are secured.
Rich Lowry argues Obama’s diplomacy shows weakness and delusion in foreign policy. He cites the 2012 Seoul exchange with Medvedev, Assad’s chemical weapons, the red line claim, and U S aid moves, claiming rivals view Obama as ineffectual while allies doubt American leadership.
