Sen. Nelson's Reaction to Murder of Jordanian Pilot

Statement

Date: Feb. 3, 2015

U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson says ISIS execution of a military pilot is another reason why Congress needs to authorize military force. Nelson, a Florida Democrat, is a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Following is his reaction to the execution of a Jordanian pilot held by ISIS:

"The inhumane burning alive of the Jordanian pilot shows that we can't deal with ISIS. You can't negotiate with madmen. It's time for us to have the Congress come forth to authorize the use of military force and for the administration to give lethal assistance to the Free Syrian Army."
