Syria
Graham (R-SC) 07/22/2022: Twitter thread – “As I have repeatedly said, Turkey has legitimate national security concerns regarding northeastern Syria. I support a buffer zone between Turkey and Kurdish elements who helped us in the fight against ISIS in Syria. Erdogan's threats of invading Syria could lead to Islamic State resurgence... | foxnews.com However, I strongly oppose another military incursion by Turkey into northeastern Syria as it will create a military conflict that benefits ISIS. America's counter-ISIS strategy relies upon working with the Syrian Democratic Forces to keep ISIS suppressed. We're not advancing Turkey's national security interests by creating conditions for ISIS 2.0. As to American forces in northeastern Syria, their continued presence is vital to ensure ISIS does not reemerge and threaten America's homeland yet again. This small contingent of American forces gives our coalition partners the advantage over ISIS and it is an insurance policy to protect the American homeland from future attacks. This American presence must remain as long as the threat is real.”

Bice (R-OK-5) 07/22/2022: Tweet – “Biden's trip to the Middle East was yet another failed policy decision.

Link to quoted tweetThere's no reason to rely on foreign countries when we can lower gas prices at home by increasing domestic production, writes @RepBice.
