The Washington Examiner: on War & Peace
Bob Marshall:
Opposes sending troops overseas without declaration of war
The debate included an inquiry on whether the candidates supported the president sending troops overseas without a declaration of war from Congress. Radtke, Jackson and Marshall all were adamantly against it, but Allen instead attacked Obama for not
supporting potential government opposition in Iran."The concern I have is not whether you have an authorization of force," Allen said. "I really worry about the military readiness of our country, regardless of whether or not there's an authorization."

Nikki Haley:
Condemned Russia for criticizing US over Syria response
Syrian president Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons on his own people, an act Haley condemned as "a violation of all standards of morality." The Russian ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, began a meeting of the Security Council by criticizing the
United States for making threats. "What is strange is that Russia is ignoring the real threat to international peace and security that has brought us all here, and it is ignoring its own unilateral responsibility for all of it," she said.
