AMEN TO SENATOR LEE...SHARE THIS ONE...."Something that happens in another part of the world really can affect the safety of Americans, but," Lee said "they haven’t made the case that’s happening here. Neither the evidence presented nor the administration’s argument suggested this would make us safer or that this is necessary to defend the United States. So that’s why I oppose it. My main concern is I see a lot of risk to the United States with a lot of downside and not a lot of upside.” Lee was also greatly concerned he did not hear the administration say what it planned to do AFTER a military strike. The real threat to U.S. credibility is not what happens if the U.S. does not intervene, he said, but what happens if the administration acts without a plan for what comes next??? Lee is growing concerned that the U.S. could easily become more deeply involved in a civil war. The bottom line: A U.S. military strike on Syria is not worth the risk, and that’s why Lee said he still can’t support it. He objects to Obama’s assessment that a vital national interest is at stake.”
