Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), the ranking member on the Senate Foreign Relations committee who notably golfed with President Barack Obama on Monday, believes the United States will soon be arming the Syrian opposition.
“I do think we’ll be arming the opposition shortly,” he said Tuesday on “CBS This Morning.” “We’re doing a lot more on the ground than really is known but we do have to change the equation. … The moderate opposition groups we support are not as good at fighting, they’re not as good at delivering humanitarian aid.”
Corker joined Sens. Mark Udall (D-CO) and Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) — who shot a memorable hole-in-one — on the links with Obama at Andrews Air Force base in Washington. Chambliss added later that the four spoke “a little bit” about the situation in Syria.
