Marino comes out against Syria attack, sharply questions Kerry, Hagel ................................................................................................................................... The Scranton Times-Tribune ^ \| September 5, 2013 \| BORYS KRAWCZENIUK In strong language, U.S. Rep. Tom Marino made his opposition to intervention in Syria abundantly clear Wednesday, pointedly questioning Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel at a House hearing. Mr. Marino predicted American soldiers would ultimately die if the U.S. gets involved. Despite President Barack Obama's assurance that no American troops would enter the ground war in Syria, Mr. Marino predicted even Mr. Obama's planned limited response to the Syrian government's use of chemical weapons would backfire on the U.S. "And this I cannot accept. Soldiers coming home deformed and limbless and even in a body bag is not acceptable to me," Mr. Marino said during a House Foreign Affairs Committee meeting, vowing to vote against a military strike. Mr. Hagel reminded Mr. Marino that the resolution under consideration in Congress specifically promises that "no boots would be on the ground" in Syria. "I've heard that before," Mr. Marino said.
