McCain: "Israeli" Strike on Syria Pressures Obama to Intervene

Local Editor

Hours after the "Israeli" aggression on Syria, US senator John McCain highlighted that the Zionist entity's attack on Syria might establish the road for US military interference in Syria.
The key Republican said on Sunday, stated: ""Israel's" airstrikes on Syria could add pressure on the Obama administration to intervene in Syria, but the US government faces tough questions on how it can help without adding to the conflict."

"The "Israeli" strike will just put more pressure on the administration to act, although President Barack Obama has said he has no plans to send ground troops to Syria," the senator said.
In an interview with the Fox news, McCain said: "We need to have a game-changing action, and that is no American boots on the ground, establish a safe zone and protect it and  supply weapons to the right people in Syria who are fighting, obviously, for the things we believe."

"Every day that goes by, Hizbullah increases their influence and the radical ‘jihadists' flow into Syria and the situation becomes more and more tenuous," he claimed.

McCain criticized Obama "for failing to intervene and for not acting when the chemical weapons red line was crossed."

For his part, Republican Representative Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, described the situation in the Middle East as "deteriorating by the day" because of the massive influx of foreign fighters pouring into Syria that could reach more than 10,000 this year.

He said all fighters were trying to get their hands on chemical weapons and more sophisticated conventional arms. In addition, refugees were fleeing the country and threatened to add more instability to the region.

"This is as bad a situation I have seen in a long time that has an opportunity to cascade," Rogers said.
