KEVIN BRADY, a United States Congressman (R-Texas), released the following statement regarding the President’s call to engage Syria with American military assets: “I believe this is a mistake. The credibility America has lost over the last few years can’t be restored with two days of politically-correct missile strikes in which the message to Assad appears to be ‘feel free to keep killing innocent Syrians, just don’t use poison gas to do it.’ “America’s real national security interest in the region is protecting our friend Israel. What President Obama has proposed is not the type of strong, forceful military action necessary to deter North Korea and Iran from developing nuclear weapons. They’ll laugh at this ‘message’ and continue to build their weapons. “I’m not going to risk our precious military resources on an ineffective, unproductive mission.” Check out page (24) twenty-four inside this issue.
