~ On missile strikes in Syria ~
U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner, Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, issued the following statement on the recent U.S. airstrikes against Syria:
“I watched the President’s speech, and my thoughts are with the men and women in uniform who are in harm’s way. I look forward to receiving more details from the Administration about the targets and strategic goals of these strikes. While the U.S. and our allies must not turn a blind eye to Assad’s vile and inhumane attacks against his own citizens, military action in Syria must be measured, as part of a coherent strategy to prevent Assad from using chemical weapons without further destabilizing an already-volatile region or inadvertently expanding the conflict.”
