Statement from Anna Galland, executive director of MoveOn.org Civic Action, in response to today’s vote in the House authorizing the United States to arm and train Syrian rebels:
“The message from this week’s House debate and Senate hearings about arming rebels in Syria could not be clearer: There are far too many pressing and unanswered questions to move forward with a plan that could lead to another open-ended war in the Middle East without a thorough debate that includes Congress and the American people.
“The American people have made clear that we must weigh a range of sound and effective options for dealing with ISIS, and that we must have a full, robust debate before even considering or authorizing another war in the Middle East.
“Today’s vote does not — by any means — take the place of an authorization for use of military force. It’s imperative that this full and informed Congressional deliberation happens before the rush to war.”
