Tulsi Gabbard on Military, Syria, and US Interests

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard calls for peace rather than launching a reckless and illegal military attack on Syria that does not have the United States' best interests in mind. April 12, 2018

In response to the unconstitutional strikes on Syria, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard had this to say via Twitter:

"As a soldier, I know that the most basic requirement before taking military action is that you must have a clear, achievable objective, & a strategy to achieve it. You must analyze the situation, know what the risks are, & what the cost, consequences of your actions will be.

Our actions in Syria must be based on strategy, which is based on what our mission actually is. What are we trying to achieve? The neocons/neolibs calling on Trump to attack Syria either don't know what the mission is or are pursuing a mission that is contrary to U.S. interests.

Actions that weaken/cripple the Syrian military result in greater instability, more suffering of Syrian ppl, & strengthen terrorist groups like al-Qaeda, ISIS, Army of Islam, etc. who are trying to topple the gvmnt. Is that our mission? Does this help Syrian or American ppl?"
