Although the United States House voted against Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz’s resolution to remove American troops from Syria on March 8, 2023, Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie praised Gaetz for his heroic effort. In a tweet he posted on March 8, Massie said the following:
Thank you @RepMattGaetz for boldly introducing this resolution to remove our troops from Syria. For those interested, here is the roll call for today’s vote. 103 Representatives, including myself, voted to end our involvement in this war:https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2023/roll136.xml
Gaetz’s resolution was rejected on a vote count of 321-103, further demonstrating how captured the US Congress is by the neoconservative/neoliberal establishment. There are currently 900 troops stationed in Syria, predominantly in northeastern Syria, such as the Hassakeh and Raqqa provinces.
