John McCain : Let's strike Syria the US way without UN mandate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

U.S. Sen. John McCain does not need diplomacy or international law, as he repeatedly calls for military air strikes on Assad’s Syrian regime. Meanwhile thousands of Syrian refugees flee to Lebanon.<\/h1>\n

Washington \/ NationalTurk – Former US presidential candidate Senator John Mccain does not need diplomacy, or international law. The Republican senator became the first US senator to publicly call for a US-led military strike on Syria in order to halt the nearly year-long conflict of unrest, uprising, protests and killings in Bashar Al Assad -led Syria.<\/p>\n

John Mccain : US Air Strike is needed to topple and expel Assad from Syria<\/h2>\n

Taking the Senate floor, Republican Senator John McCain stated there will be no UN mandate for the air strikes he deems the only way to stop the violence \u2013 but that a mandate isn\u2019t necessary. All the Arizona senator needs, apparently, is a somewhat dubious \u2013 and violent \u2013 precedent. ‘NATO took military action to save Kosovo in 1999 without formal U.N. authorization. There is no reason why the Arab League, or NATO, or a leading coalition within the Friends of Syria contact group, or all of them speaking in unison, could not provide a similar international mandate for military measures to save Syria today’, he declared.<\/p>\n

John McCain is also the GOP’s senior member on the Senate Armed Services Committee and it’s no suprise that he urged the U.S. to launch military airstrikes against Syrian president Bashar Assad’s regime to force him out of power. He also added in his speech on Capitol Hill that the U.S. should arm Syrian rebels and spearhead a military effort to support them.<\/p>\n

It was a dramatic call for US military intervention that went directly against the plan of action favoured by the Barack Obama administration and its European and Arab partners. (NATO, France, England and the Arab League ) He spoke at length about the Bashar Al Assad government in Syria, and said that the only realistic way to preserve ‘innocent lives in Syria\u2026 is with foreign airpower.’<\/p>\n

Senator Mccain : Handle the Syrian Conflict the US – Way<\/h3>\n

The Arizona senator pointed out that President Barack Obama characterized the prevention of mass atrocities as “a core national security interest” when speaking about Libya, and has committed the credibility of the United States to his repeated calls for Assad to step down.<\/p>\n

‘If Assad manages to cling to power \u2013 or even if he manages to sustain his slaughter for months to come, with all of the human and geopolitical costs that entails \u2013 it would be a strategic and moral defeat for the United States. We cannot, we must not, allow this to happen,” McCain said.<\/p>\n

“Some kind of intervention will happen, with us or without us,” he said. “The real question for U.S. policy is whether we will participate in this next phase of the conflict in Syria, and thereby increase our ability to shape an outcome that is beneficial to the Syrian people, and to us.”<\/p>\n

John Mccain : Typical republican and conservative mentality Us intervention and regime change ops<\/h4>\n

McCain\u2019s idea is a typical neo-con conservative mindset of foreign intervention which implies a regime-change operation aimed at ousting one dictator in order to install another, US-approved dictator. The\u00a0US government has no qualms about dictatorships.\u00a0Syrian people are oppressed by the Assad government, but that does not empower America to intervene in the country or in any other country. It is the worst thing that would happen to Syrian people.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist! Check your syntax! (ID: 10)<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
