Clinton: New U.N. Measure on Syria “Needs Teeth”

HeadlineSep 10, 2012

Speaking at an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Russia, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States continues support for the Syrian opposition.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: “We haven’t seen eye-to-eye with Russia on Syria. That may continue. And if it does continue, then we will work with like-minded states to support the Syrian opposition to hasten the day when Assad falls and to help prepare Syria for a democratic future and, you know, help it get back on its feet again. There’s no point passing a resolution with no teeth, because we’ve seen time and time again that Assad will ignore it and keep attacking his own people.”
