The Senate will hold it’s first vote on U.S. military intervention in Syria on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday.
Reid announced the vote on a motion to proceed on the resolution for limited military action in a floor speech Monday, saying that until then, the Senate would hold a “full and open debate” on the topic. The date of the vote coincides with the 12th anniversary of the September 11th, 2001 terror attacks.
“The Senate will give this matter the serious attention that it deserves,” Reid said.
Reid, in his opening speech, made an impassioned plea for intervention in Syria, urging Senators to “remember our history” and World War II, when Reid says America stood on the sidelines for too long.
“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality,” Reid said, quoting Dante’s Divine Comedy, a quote that appears on the wall of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.
