Chairman Royce on the hearing: “Assad’s war has killed nearly half a million innocent men, women and children and driven 14 million Syrians from their homes.  The turmoil of this brutality including chemical weapons has allowed ISIS to capitalize.  And the previous administration’s dithering only made things worse.  Now, moving ahead, this administration must work with Congress to lay out clear policy goals.”
