Lee Terry (R-NE) today made the following statement on the President\u2019s plan to train and equip vetted groups in Syria to fight ISIL:\n\u201cToday, I voted against the President\u2019s request to equip and train so-called moderate opposition groups from Syria to fight ISIL.\u00a0\u00a0I did so because I don\u2019t believe the President\u2019s plan is a solid, coherent strategy.\u00a0 I have a hard time committing American resources to a group of people I\u2019m not sure we can trust.\n\u201cRegardless of the merits of his plan, the President already has the authority under current law to confront ISIL within the borders of Iraq.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t need our vote today. The fact of the matter is that the President has simply chosen not to lead.\u00a0 We\u2019re in this position today because the President refused to take the advice of his generals to leave residual forces in Iraq.\u00a0 ISIL filled the vacuum he created.\u201d\n\u201cISIL is clearly a threat. When the President finally decides to lead with a coherent strategy, that is when he should come to Congress.\u201d\n# # #\n    \n  \n  \n  \n    \n      f \n      t \n      #\n      e", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140918192844/http://leeterry.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=393917"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6385018825531006, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
