McCain Says U.S. Should Go Outside UN for Syria Action

President Barack Obama should go outside the United Nations to lead a multilateral military response to the violence in Syria, Senator John McCain said.

Obama should follow the approach that President Bill Clinton, a fellow Democrat, took to intervene in Kosovo in 1999, McCain said today. At the time, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization bombed Serbia until then-Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic withdrew troops from the Kosovo region, where they were attempting to crush an independence movement.
