WASHINGTON, Sept. 23, 2014 – U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) today released the following statement on airstrikes launched Monday by the U.S. military and our allies against ISIS in Syria:

“The United States is right to begin steps to destroy this brutal group of killers and put a stop to its 4th-century acts of barbarism. The president needs to propose a clear military plan and ask Congress for its approval if we want to unite our country and civilized nations against this threat.”
