Despite being in office for fifteen months, the Administration has not taken steps to outline a comprehensive strategy for Syria. Further, the Administration has failed to request an authorization from Congress for further military action against Assad’s regime.

There is no purely military solution to the Syrian conflict. What’s needed is a diplomatic plan to bring an end to this crisis and hold the Syrian government, the Russians and the Iranians fully accountable for their conduct.

The Administration should work towards a political solution that meets the legitimate expectations of the Syrian people and leads to a constitution, elections, rule of law and functioning government ministries.

The Administration should seek an authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) by Congress if it wants to continue to military actions against Syrian forces - the same way President Obama sought authorization in 2013 in a similar circumstance involving Syria.

Beyond the immediate situation in Syria, it’s time for a sustained debate and vote on a new AUMF that allows our nation to destroy terrorists and fight threats to U.S. national security, but doesn’t result in endless war.

The 2001 and 2002 AUMFs, which authorized military action in Afghanistan and Iraq, are outdated and must be replaced.

What past administration has? Unless Obama's Libya plan was acceptable - smack, he didn't have one.

Oh, you mean when Obama wanted to attack after chemical weapons were dropped in Syria, and he sought congressional approval and the

What are you doing about it? Republican and Democrat leaders seem to be turning their heads. Stop the disgrace and embarrassment to this Country. Do something. Stop tweeting.

You go girl. I am supporting you 100% just sent out 5 tweets telling our lawmakers to stop freakin tweeting and STOP
@realdonaldtrump before he kills us all. We can protest but they are the "lawmakers". -
My greatest fear, American’s are too comfortable with freedom and democracy. We need to “Do Something” to stop the slow moving, but increasing degradation of our democracy and freedom. It’s frightening.
