Menendez votes to approve use of military force in Syria
Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, voted Wednesday to authorize the use of limited force against Syria.
“This is the one indispensable nation in the world,” Menendez said after most committee members joined him in voting to approve the resolution on Syria. “It is a heavy burden, but it is also an opportunity to lead the world to a safer, more secure world. I believe we have met that burden today, and I believe we will do so as we move to the Senate floor.” (Herman/Gannett)
