North Country Congresswoman says she is monitoring Syrian situation closely in wake of U.S. strike

Posted

North Country Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21) says she will be monitoring the Syrian situation closely following a U.S. military strike there.

"This week the world watched in horror as the Assad regime used chemical weapons to murder dozens of men, women and children. The Obama Administration policy towards Syria has failed and we need a new strategy. As a Member of the House Armed Services Committee, this will be an important part of our work and I will be monitoring the situation closely with my colleagues."

According to various new sources US warships launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at a Syrian airfield Thursday, This marks the first military action against government forces in Syria's civil war.
