Steve Stockman on War & Peace

Former Republican Representative (TX-9)

 


Syria is Obama's folly: return the Nobel Peace Prize

With President Barack Obama asking Congress for permission to attack Syria, Stockman is offering him a deal. While opposed to the planned attack, Stockman will switch and vote for the resolution only if Obama will honestly answer several questions about it. "I am prepared to vote in favor of Obama's folly if he can fully and truthfully answer eleven questions about the Syria operation and his bungling of it," said Stockman:
  1. Libya has become a practically failed state. What will be done in Syria to prevent a repeat of your failures in Libya?
  2. Why was Egypt not asked to participate in the Syrian process or even consulted on the matter?
  3. What assurances do you have that Syria's chemical weapons will be secured?
  4. Should your strikes result in toppling Assad, who will seize control of Syria?
  5. Should Assad fall, will al-Qaeda and affiliated extremists take control?
  6. Are you willing to return your Nobel Peace Prize?
