Bernie Sanders. “However, at this point in time, I need to hear more from the president as to why he believes it is in the best interests of the United States to intervene in Syria's bloody and complicated civil war. I look forward to the Senate debate that will be taking place in the very near future.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
