How Should Your Member of Congress Respond on Syria?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 3, 2013

Congressmen Charles Rangel (D-NY 13th) then Scott Garrett, (R-NJ 5th), talk about President Obama's decision to ask for congressional approval in advance of a possible U.S. military response to the apparent chemical weapons attack in Syria.

"We don't know the repercussions of this attack." @CBRangel says Syria and Iran could use an attack to "justify anything." #WNYC

.@RepGarrett says he doesn't believe Obama has made the case sufficiently that Syria intervention is in "national interest." #WNYC

Neither @CBRangel nor @RepGarrett predict how the Syria vote will go. Say full debate will decide, beginning next week. #WNYC
