(AFP) — Senior U.S. senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman said Thursday it was time to arm Syria’s opposition as they expressed disgust over a massacre last week blamed on government forces.

“It’s time to act. It’s time to give the Syrian opposition the weapons in order to defend themselves. It’s not a fair fight,” the Republican McCain told reporters in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur.

McCain is in Muslim-majority Malaysia along with Lieberman, an independent, for a brief visit that included a meeting with Prime Minister Najib Razak on Wednesday and other officials.

During their talks, the pair expressed their “repugnance and anger and disgust at the behavior of (Syrian President) Bashar Assad and the recent massacre of innocent women and children”, McCain said.
