Hice issues statement on Syria strike

Congressman Jody Hice, the 10th District Republican who represents Athens in the US House,  released the following statement in response to the coordinated military strike in Syria by the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.

"The unspeakable acts of violence committed by the Assad regime against innocent children, men, and women must be addressed," said Congressman Hice. "For too long, the barbaric actions in Syria have gone unanswered. While questions remain regarding our long-term engagement with Syria, I support President Trump's proportional step to join the U.K. and France in executing a precise, tactical military strike to hold the Assad regime accountable. I am grateful and will continue to pray for our brave men and women in uniform and our allied forces who put themselves in harm's way in order to carry out this mission. As we move forward, it will be important for the Administration to engage with Congress and clearly communicate its strategy to the American people."
