Mission complete' means the enduring defeat of ISIS and supporting successful reconstruction efforts. The void created by our absence will almost certainly be filled by countries like Russia and Iran that do not share our interests or those of our allies in the region. In the absence of a unified strategy on Syria, it is clear Congress must debate and pass a new Authorization of the Use of Military Force to clarify our mission to counter violent extremism in the region and fund stabilization efforts to ensure the country does not descend into chaos. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
