Hudson Statement on the President’s Decision to Send Troops into Syria
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today,U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) released the following statement reacting to the announcement that President Obama would be sending U.S. Special Operations Forces into Syria:
“President Obama and his administration have not done a credible job in demonstrating strength in the Middle East and have failed to stem the tide of terror in Iraq and Syria. While they have the right goal to degrade and destroy ISIS, they don’t have a plan to do it. The president’s decision to deploy a small number of Special Operations Forces is a band-aid solution for a struggling operation in the region. Without a coherent, long-term strategy to push back the momentum of terrorism that’s continuing to grow, I fear this tactic will be futile and is too great a risk to the lives of these brave Americans.”
