U.S. Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth Opposes Military Action in Syria

[cali]

the more time that passes without a U.S. strike, the more opposition to one will grow. I'm sure the administration is keenly aware of that.


ongresswoman and Iraq War veteran Tammy Duckworth says she does not favor American military intervention in Syria and urged Middle East nations to find a resolution to the crisis.

Speaking Thursday at a university in Bangkok, Duckworth said she opposed a military strike against Syria in retaliation for alleged chemical attacks or arming the rebels out of concern the weapons could be used against Americans.

“I don’t know if they are actual rebels or whether they are terrorists,” the Illinois Democrat told the audience, comprising mainly Thai university students. “If I could guarantee that everyone who comes to get weapons that we would provide was actually a legitimate rebel and not al-Qaida, then I would be more supportive of it.”
