I’m glad to hear you are against this. I fail t to see what the proposed “shot across the bow” will do to deter Syria from continuing down the same path. I also see it as possibly putting our allies in the region in harms way which in turn would result in the unintended consequence of dragging us further into the Middle East mire. Anyway, I don’t think we know who, if anyone, is the good guy in this mess.

I am retired military with 33 years service and I have two children on active duty. Let’s stay out of Syria’s civil war until there is a solid coalition including Middle Eastern Countries that are willing to go shoulder to shoulder with us to punish Assad. This president is weak and incapable of getting anything meaningful done and this will be no exception. He makes a pretty speech but is no commander in chief. As one commentator said, this administration couldn’t organize a three car funeral. I darn sure don’t want the current administration involving us in another war in the Middle East when they don’t have international backing or a clue as to what they are doing. Vote “NO” Congressman Miller.

Thank you Congressman Miller for not voting for military action in Syria. We have already put this Country in danger by acting as a magnet for Russian and Chinese Naval Vessels in the Med. A small accident could lead to a reaction by one or more of these Countries leading to a World War.

It doesn’t really matter what the “international community” believes.
If an idea is a good idea, it is a good idea.

If an idea is a bad idea, it is a bad idea.

I do not think we should take any military action without broad international support.. This means a broad coalition of countries that include some Middle-eastern European and Asian.. The best of all worlds is a UN mandate (which will not happen) or NATO (also will not happen).. Even if we do get the appropriate coalition, our armed forces are spread too thin now and we continue to lose American lives.. Also, it makes no sense to lob a few cruise missles in and further complicate the situation.. We should be all in or out on this.. If we choose to be all in, I dont think we can afford it.. We need to stop this insanity and take care of our needs at home, which are many.. LETS JUST STAY OUT OF THIS ONE!!

I agree very adamantly that we do not need to do any kind of strike unless all the nations that signed the anti gassing document/treaty support it and participate in the action, including Russia.
ALSO WE DO NOT NEED TO SUPPORT ANY REBEL ARMY THAT CUTS OUT THE ENEMIY’S HEART AND BIGHTS OR EATS IT.

Here’s the deal. Stay out of it? Sure, why not.

Until things get so bad over there, it disrupts the flow of oil into the United States, THEN you watch how quick our asses get over there.

Want to stay totally out of there? Then quit complaining about drilling in the gulf,and let’s loosen our dependency on foreign oil. We can then let them wipe each other out and be done with it.

Thank you Mr. Miller. Both sides in this conflict hate US, so let em kill each other. Better yet, lets ship arms to both sides so they can do it more effectively. If there were a republican in the white house, the dems would be trying to run him up the flagpole for being a war monger. Let them settle their civil war on their own.

It is good to see the Congressman get off his rear and stand for something,how many of us can remember last time he did.In fact can anyone remember the last important piece of legislation he wrote or co-sponsored.The entire congress is guilty of making this a photo opportunity.And to show their outrage or support.To bad they do not do the same when it comes to the economy,or entitlements,border security and health care.
