The debate over how to end the violence in Syria grew louder, as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the U.S. is reviewing potential military action and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton challenged Russia to end its support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Panetta told the Senate Armed Services Committee there isn’t enough unity among the Syrian opposition and the international community for outside military intervention. The Obama administration is consulting on options with other nations and considering “an array of non-lethal assistance,” he said.
