WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Senator Alsobrooks released the following statement:
“We do not want another war in the Middle East.
“Too many of our country’s finest have died fighting forever wars.
“Let me be clear – Donald Trump’s actions last night were unconstitutional. Only Congress has the power to declare war.
“His dramatic escalation has put American servicemembers and the American citizenry at risk.
“We have seen over the course of two decades how difficult it is to end a war in the Middle East.
“The path to ensuring Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon – an objective we all share — is paved with diplomacy. The President has bragged for years about his dealmaking prowess. Now he must prove his mettle.”
