"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?

[The] President . . . is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy.
Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)
