Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, suggested that the U.S. should financially assist the Syrian opposition to help resolve the bloody conflict.

“I think it’s time to try to help the brave Syrian freedom fighters to carry out a fair fight,” Lieberman said Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union. “And I think it’s time to give them help. Medical help first, and then I’d give them training, I’d give them communications equipment, and then ultimately I’d give them weapons.”
