Barbara Boxer said "I thank the Presiding Officer. Mr. President, I am very proud to team up with the good Senator because this is a very modest amendment that just puts us in line with our colleagues: the United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, Canada, France, Australia, and others who already are directly arming the Kurds. Now, the President's policy that I absolutely support is we are going to take this fight to ISIS, but we are not going to have combat boots on the ground; we are going to help strategically with airstrikes. These are the people who are taking it day after day--deaths and blood and wounds. The least we can do is support this amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired. The Senator from Rhode Island." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
