Poll: Majority Of Americans Approve Of Sending Congress To Syria
WASHINGTONAs President Obama continues to push for a plan of limited military intervention in Syria, a new poll of Americans has found that though the nation remains wary over the prospect of becoming involved in another Middle Eastern war, the vast majority of U.S. citizens strongly approve of sending Congress to Syria.
The New York Times/CBS News poll showed that though just 1 in 4 Americans believe that the United States has a responsibility to intervene in the Syrian conflict, more than 90 percent of the public is convinced that putting all 535 representatives of the United States Congress on the ground in Syriaincluding Senate pro tempore Patrick Leahy, House Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and, in fact, all current members of the House and Senateis the best course of action at this time.
I believe it is in the best interest of the United States, and the global community as a whole, to move forward with the deployment of all U.S. congressional leaders to Syria immediately, respondent Carol Abare, 50, said in the nationwide telephone survey, echoing the thoughts of an estimated 9 in 10 Americans who said they strongly support any plan of action that involves putting the U.S. House and Senate on the ground in the war-torn Middle Eastern state. With violence intensifying every day, now is absolutely the right momentthe perfect moment, reallyfor the United States to send our legislators to the region.
In fact, my preference would have been for Congress to be deployed months ago, she added.
