[quote]"My preference would be for something even stronger than the resolution the House passed yesterday, which has some serious weaknesses," McConnell said. "It is so narrowly drafted that it fails to address the plight of imperiled Sunni Arab and minority Christian communities in Syria. It is backward-looking. And it is curiously silent on the issue of whether to actually sustain a U.S. military presence in Syria, perhaps to spare Democrats from having to go on the record on this key question."[/quote]
