Rep Gaetz Slams Forever Wars, Issues Statement on Final House Vote Regarding War Powers Resolution to Remove U.S. Troops from Syria
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) released the following statement regarding the final vote by the House of Representatives on his resolution, H. Con. Res. 21, the Syrian War Powers Resolution. The privileged War Powers Resolution, if passed, would have directed President Joe Biden to remove all troops from Syria. Unfortunately, the resolution was not adopted by a vote of 103-321, with support from 47 Republicans and 56 Democrats.
“There is no role for the United States of America in Syria. We are not a Middle Eastern power. We have tried to build a democracy out of sand, blood, and Arab militias. Time and again, the work we do does not reduce chaos. Oftentimes, it causes chaos – the very chaos that then subsequently leads to terrorism. While today’s vote may have failed, my fight to end forever wars and bring our troops home has only just begun,” said Congressman Gaetz.
