Congressman Moran Signals He Will Vote for Action Against Syria
"The United States has the only true ability to prevent the use and proliferation of such weapons," the congressman said Tuesday in a news release.
Congressman James P. Moran, Jr. (D-8th), who represents Alexandria, said Tuesday that President Obama is "right in setting a red line against the use of weapons of mass destruction by Bashar al-Assad."
The comment, in a news release sent out by his House office Tuesday, signals that Moran will likely vote "yes" when it comes time for the House to vote on a resolution to take action against Syria, sent to Congress by President Obama.
“President Obama was absolutely right in setting a red line against the use of weapons of mass destruction by Bashar al-Assad," Moran said. "The United States has the only true ability to prevent the use and proliferation of such weapons."
"Abdicating this responsibility will only allow for their deployment to become the new norm," he said.

"Abdicating this responsibility will only allow for their deployment to become the new norm," he said.
“Now it is up to one of the most divisive, least productive Congresses in history to authorize an intervention and protect the credibility and viability of a U.S. response to Assad's horrific crimes against humanity,” Moran said.
