STATEMENT BY SENATORS McCAIN AND GRAHAM ON PRESIDENT OBAMAS SPEECH ON SYRIA
September 10, 2013
Washington, D.C. U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) today released the following statement regarding President Obamas speech on Syria this evening:
We appreciate the President speaking directly to the American people about the conflict in Syria. We regret, however, that he did not speak more forcefully about the need to increase our military assistance to moderate opposition forces in Syria, such as the Free Syrian Army. We also regret that he did not lay out a clearer plan to test the seriousness of the Russian and Syrian proposal to transfer the Assad regimes chemical weapons to international custody.
Such a plan would require the United States, together with our friends and allies, to immediately introduce a tough U.N. Security Council Resolution that lays out what steps Syria would have to take to give up its chemical weapons, including making a full and accurate declaration of all of its chemical weapons and granting international monitors unfettered access to all sites in Syria that possess these weapons. This Resolution would have to threaten serious consequences if the Assad regime does not comply, and it would have to be presented to the Security Council for an up or down vote. We would expect Russia and China to support such a Resolution without delay.
If McCain and Graham aren't insane, then they are on the take from the Saudis.
Zerobozo, Kerry, McAnial, and Grahaministry are now totally irrelevant in the real world outside of the beltway.
