McCain Displays Photo of Dead Syrian Boy on Senate Floo
|
Senator John McCain, a leading Republican from the state ofArizona, displayed the image of the body of a three year-old Syrian boy on Wednesday on the Senate floor as he urged stronger leadership from US President Barack Obama on Syria.
McCain, a Republican, stood next to an enlarged, close-up photo of
Aylan Kurdi, who drowned along with his 5-year-old brother and mother when
their small rubber boat capsized as it headed for Greece. McCain said the photo
has 'opened the world’s eye to this devastating crisis.'
McCain said it should haunt Americans that 'the United States will
continue to do nothing meaningful' about conflicts like that in Syria that have
led to a surge in refugees
