Congresswoman Wagner Will Vote "No" on Syria

September 9, 2013

WASHINGTON , D.C. – Representative Ann Wagner (R-MO) today issued the following statement in response to the ongoing situation in Syria:

“After receiving classified briefings from the Administration, I am even more convinced that the president has not made the case for military action in Syria. The president has no long-term plan, no exit strategy, and continues to project weakness both at home and abroad. This Administration still has no clear or achievable national security objectives. As a result, I simply cannot support military action in Syria, as it will only be a punitive strike that will cause more fomenting in the region.”
