Senators Fault Obama For Positions on Syria, Iran

A trio of senior U.S. senators on Friday accused the Obama administration of failing to respond adequately to the nuclear standoff with Iran and the escalating violence in Syria, the Associated Press reported.
Senators Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) want the White House to adopt a harsher policy that would persuade Iran to stop its atomic activities, which Washington and other capitals believe are aimed at producing a nuclear-weapon capability. The long-serving senators also called for the United States to provide weapons to Syrian opposition fighters -- a step the U.S. government has resisted out of fear it might lead to small-arms proliferation in the region and greater chaos in the country.http://www.nti.org/gsn/article/us-senator-faults-obama-red-line-syrian-chemical-weapons/
