Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) released the following statement:

“My heart goes out to all of the innocent Syrians oppressed and persecuted by the Assad regime.  This cruelty is indefensible.  However – before we commit America’s men, women, and resources to the conflict – I believe it is imperative for the President to have coalition support, to ensure that our nation’s interests are present and clearly defined, and to make his case before both Congress and the American people.”
