Andy Harris, M.D.
Congress voted yesterday to fund the arming of Syrian rebels to fight against the islamic State (ISIL). After numerous briefings by the Administration, it became clear to me that the Administration does not have a plan in place to ensure the proper vetting of Syrian rebels armed by the U.S. so that we can know they will not turn around and use those arms against the U.S. and our allies. That is why I voted against the amendment. Islamic radical terrorism remains a grave threat to our country and destroying the ISIL is in the national interest of the United States. I believe the President should come to Congress and request the authorization to use force against this enemy and offer a real plan on how the U.S. and our allies can defeat them.

Good for you Congressman. And now you are on another early recess until after the election after just coming back to work after a 5 week summer recess. How about congress actually staying in Washington for a bit and actually doing your job?
Most of the "moderate" rebels have joined ISIL = ISIS = Al Qaeda. We are going to be fighting against our own weapons.
Thank you sir, you're a true representative of common sense and good judgment in DC. You've again secured my vote.
Andy is one of the few representatives who actually does a good job - as for the rest, let them have the rest of their terms off!
Good choice; common sense. thanks

1) If Mr. Harris were in charge of congressional hours, I'm positive he would do exactly that!
2) Stick to the issue here!
3) Have some respect, or don't you approve of his action in this case?
Agree with all comments on this post save for 12:51, the first one.
