I spoke on the floor today before voting against the funding for Syrian rebels. While we need to address the savagery of ISIL, I have deep reservations, and important lingering questions, that need to be debated on this floor. I am concerned about exposing our soldiers, once again, to a protracted conflict with unclear objectives, and no clear exit strategy. I cannot support this rushed Amendment, and allow the US to wade back into another conflict without a serious, informed discussion of the United State’s military role in combatting ISIL. We need to fully debate, and discuss, actions we as a nation take against this vicious foe.
