Clinton: New U.N. Measure on Syria "Needs Teeth" 
-------------------------------------------------


 
Speaking at a 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, we will
work with like-minded states to support the Syrian opposition to hasten
the day Assad falls and to help prepare Syria for a democratic future
and to help it, you know, 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."
