Indiana Sen. Responds To President’s Announcement On Syria

Over the weekend, Indiana Republican Senator Dan Coats made the following statement regarding the president’s request for Congressional authorization of the use of military force in Syria:

“The president’s decision to set a ‘red line’ with Syria while failing to have a long-term strategy in place unfortunately has left the U.S. without any good options. I am pleased, however, that President Obama is seeking authorization from Congress for potential military action in Syria so the American people can have a voice in this debate. I will be traveling across Indiana next week to hear from Hoosiers so I can take their views back to Washington. I will continue to urge the administration to work with our friends and allies on a comprehensive strategy to address the broader challenges throughout the region.”
