Oregon's two senators, Democrats Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, said Monday that they are reserving judgment on whether the U.S. should launch a military strike against Syria in retaliation for the regime's apparent use of poison gas.
Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., speaks at the annual Labor Day picnic at Oaks Park that is sponsored by the Northwest Labor Council.Brent Wojahn/The Oregonian
Merkley said he particularly wants to make sure that the U.S. secures international support for any military action in the Mideast nation while Wyden said he wants to analyze what options the U.S. faces after it conducts a military strike.
