McCain: We need 'heavy weapons' and a 'safe zone' in Syria
Republican Senator John McCain has been arguing for intervention in Syria
almost since the civil war began.
Now that the White House has confirmed that Syrian forces used chemical
weapons in the ongoing civil war, the administration is ready to step up
military support for the opposition.
McCain has repeatedly pushed the administration to arm Syrian rebels, and
the Arizona senator told CNN Friday he is comfortable giving the rebels
whatever weapons they need.
"I am absolutely convinced we need to have heavy weapons, both anti-tank and
anti-air," said McCain.
The administration plans to provide small arms, ammunition, and potentially
anti-tank weapons, two officials familiar with the matter told CNN Friday.
The weapons will come from the CIA, the officials said.
McCain said small arms support will not change anything.
"It may help prevent some of the slaughter that's going on. But as far as
changing things dramatically, I'm afraid that it won't," said McCain. | b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | | t*******n 发帖数: 2698 | | w*********r 发帖数: 42116 | 4 美国才牺牲了几个人,消灭了N多专制政权才是最有利于美国的。
