US Sen. Elizabeth Warren: President Donald Trump's 'erratic approach to Syria is not a strategy'
Source: Mass Live
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, continued to take aim at President Donald Trump's foreign policy Saturday, contending that his "erratic approach to Syria is not a strategy."
The Massachusetts Democrat, who criticized the president earlier this week for launching a targeted airstrike in Syria without Capitol Hill approval, slammed the Republican again in a series of afternoon tweets.
Although she agreed that the United States needs a plan to hold Syrian President Bashar al-Assad accountable for his reported use of chemical weapons on his own citizens, the senator argued that she's "seen no compelling strategic justification for Trump's missile strike."
Warren further accused the president of having an "erratic" approach when it comes to U.S. involvement in Syria, contending that within a week his administration "went from asserting they wouldn't intervene to launching Tomahawk missiles against Assad."

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., called the chemical attack in Syria a heinous act and a crime against humanity but said escalation without the support of Congress, the American people, and our allies would create more instability and put lives at risk.
Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy called the strike an ill-thought out military action with absolutely no overall strategy for Syria that he said risks dragging us further into a civil war in which we cannot tip the scales.
