Tonight, U.S. Senator Rand Paul released the following statement regarding the United States' strike on a Syrian military airfield:

"While we all condemn the atrocities in Syria, the United States was not attacked. The President needs congressional authorization for military action as required by the Constitution, and I call on him to come to Congress for a proper debate. Our prior interventions in this region have done nothing to make us safer, and Syria will be no different."
