The U.S. needs a strategy to ensure that its interests in Syria are protected, and that there’s a long-term plan to contain the threat posed by ISIS and al-Qaeda in both Syria and the broader Middle East. This bill would ensure that the Trump administration develops such a strategy.
Instead of requiring the executive branch to produce a strategy for the long-term defeat of ISIS and al-Qaeda in Syria and the Middle East, Congress should develop a strategy of its own. Alternatively, the U.S. shouldn’t concern itself with trying to defeat these terror groups.
