John McCain - US Must Give Heavy Weapons To Syria Rebels And Take Out Assad's Airforce

 'They are losing, and they're being massacred, and they are sustaining incredibly heavy casualties. It's terrible.The Free Syrian Army need weapons and heavy weapons, to counter tanks and aircraft. They need a no-fly zone. And they - Bashar Assad's air assets have to be taken out and neutralized. And we can do that without risking a single American airplane. We can do it by cratering the runways with cruise missiles, moving the Patriot missiles closer to the border, and protecting a safe zone.'

 Part 2 in People I Wouldn't Normally Credit With A Progressive Opinion. When I heard it mentioned that McCain was in favour of the use of cruise missiles I thought that sounded a very bad idea, it turns out he just wants them used to crater the runways of the government's airforce.
