House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has emerged as the strongest supporter of Obama’s plan.
“Military action in response to Assad’s reckless use of deadly gas that is limited in scope and duration, without boots on the ground, is in our national security interest and in furtherance of regional stability and global security,” Pelosi said in a statement, referring to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Pelosi has demonstrated an ability to deliver votes when the Obama administration has needed them, but other Democrats said Syria will be a tougher sell because many still feel stung by the Iraq war votes 11 years ago.
“The shadow of Iraq is the dominant influence for most members,” said Rep. Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.). Connolly said he is also concerned with historic parallels to massacres in the 1990s that did not get a forceful response. “Syria is not Iraq, and Obama is not Bush,” he said. “No one is contemplating an invasion of Syria. The appropriate analogies are Bosnia-Kosovo-Serbia and Rwanda. The tug of historical analogies is a powerful force in foreign policy.”
