McIntyre “NO” on Strike Against Syria

September 10, 2013

Dear Friends,

The important constitutional question to be answered regarding our country's potential involvement in a foreign country's civil war is whether such action meets the threshold of endangering our national security.

The recent actions in Syria raise very serious concerns regarding the use of chemical weapons.

After a careful review of the current situation and an analysis of information provided through several sources, including top secret briefings, it is apparent that humanitarian and diplomatic assistance, including a review of potential international control of Syrian chemical weapons, is appropriate, but I will NOT support a military strike against Syria for four key reasons:

  1. The civil war in Syria is not a direct threat to our national security;

  2. Neither the U.S. nor our allies have been attacked;

  3. A military strike does not resolve the ongoing conflict in Syria and the Middle East, and the consequences are too unpredictable; and

  4. The overwhelming majority of the citizens of eastern North Carolina have expressed their strong objection to military action in Syria.
Sincerely,
Facebook
