Madeleine Albright to Congress: Authorize Obama’s Syria Plan
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright wants Congress to authorize President Barack Obama to use force in Syria, adding her name to a growing and bipartisan list of outside validators who have rallied to the president’s cause.
“I urge Congress to vote ‘yes’ on the resolution authorizing a military response to Bashar Assad’s illegal and immoral use of chemical weapons to murder more than one thousand innocent people,” Albright, who served as secretary of State under President Bill Clinton, said in a statement.
Albright, who has been in contact with some lawmakers, felt strongly about the vote and wanted to make her views known.
