Cornyn Statement on President Obama's Address on Libya

Statement

Date: March 29, 2011
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Defense

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) today released the following statement regarding President Obama's address on the current situation in Libya:
"When our men and women in uniform are sent into harm's way, Americans and troops deserve a clear mission from our commander-in-chief, not a speech nine days late. President Obama failed to explain why he unilaterally took our nation to war without bothering to make the case to the U.S. Congress. And now he's splitting the difference--telling us Gaddafi must go, but refusing to do what it takes to remove him. The American people, members of Congress, and our service members deserve more than this overture. I will most certainly keep our American troops in my thoughts and prayers, and I plan to raise my concerns during this week's Armed Services Committee hearings."
