Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from LebanonOPPOSE
“Our country was rightly shocked and horrified when over 150 schoolgirls were killed in the opening hours of our strikes on Iran. It will be remembered as one of our darkest hours. As I stand here, over 253 children have been killed in Lebanon. Are those lives no less a tragedy? Are we so callous as to believe that when we provide intelligence, provide coordination, and green strikes, that our responsibility for the results of that work ends there? We are not bystanders to the ongoing horror that is the war on Lebanon. We have seen this before.”
