“Only a political solution can end the carnage in Syria, and escalating U.S. involvement to include direct military confrontation with the Syrian government would undermine the prospects of a negotiated settlement.

Furthermore, Congress has not authorized the use of military force against the Assad government, which should be a prerequisite to any military action.”
