Bad idea.
Via The Hill:
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said Tuesday the United States should provide Syrian rebels with weapons.
“I’d like to see us take a side,” Lieberman said in an interview with CBS “This Morning”.
“I don’t think it’s enough clearly for us to say Assad should go, Assad’s a dictator… We have a moral responsibility and a strategic opportunity to do more than what we’re doing there,” he said.
“So what would I do,” he continued. “I’d embrace the cause of the opposition to Assad, I’d begin to work with them closely. I’d give them weapons, that’s the key.”
