CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY
Next Steps in Syria
U.S. Senate, Committee on Foreign Relations
August 1, 2012

With the recent assassination of four senior Syrian officials amid reports that the regime is moving its chemical weapons stockpile, Washington must now draw a line in the sand for Assad. And this time, the Obama administration must stick to it or risk a humanitarian and national security calamity. Download Andrew Tabler's remarks before the Senate regarding the state of the uprising against Assad, the opposition's view of the United States, the types of assistance Washington should offer, and other factors.
