McCain Backs President’s Plan for Syrian Strike

Tuesday, 03 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Senator John McCain says it would be wrong for Congress to deny the president’s request for support for an attack on Syria. He did stipulate that he’d only support a strike that “was punishing enough to weaken the Syrian military” and stipulated that more must be done to arm the Syrian rebels. It was a surprising move from McCain, one of President Obama’s most vocal critics, says the New York Times, and one that is likely to cause friction within the GOP.
