Political Quotes

“96 airstrikes, eight cluster bomb attacks, 231 artillery and missile attacks--that is what the people in Idlib, Syria, experienced yesterday from the forces of the brutal dictator Assad and his Russian protector, Putin. These attacks hit 10 schools and one hospital, killing 26 and injuring over 100. After nearly 10 years of death and destruction, Idlib is becoming the greatest humanitarian disaster of this long conflict. As I have said on this floor for nearly 3 years, the lack of a comprehensive approach for U.S. policy in Syria has allowed the atrocities led by Assad, Russia, and Iran to continue with impunity. The U.S. Government must use the tools that we have at our disposal to end the death and destruction in Syria, bring about a political solution to the conflict, and hold those responsible for these war crimes fully accountable. ____________________”
