The United States should arm and assist Syrian opposition forces working to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said Sunday.
Lieberman, who chairs the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, said the Pentagon is putting plans together and that it is time to "help the brave Syrian freedom fighters."
"Medical help first, and then I'd give them training. I'd give them communications equipment, and then ultimately, I'd give them weapons," Lieberman said on CNN's State of the Union.
