Braley says he's "still unconvinced" of the need to use military force against Syria

Eastern Iowa Congressman Bruce Braley Wednesday morning told a news conference that after listening to President Barack Obama's speech Tuesday night he is "still unconvinced" military force should be used against Syria.

Braley told reporters he has received over 20,000 constituent messages about Syria--and over 80 percent of those messages opposed taking military action. 

Braley says the biggest reason he opposes military action is that military officials have told him there is no way of knowing whether a military strike against Syria could not bring on unintended consequences.
