U.S. Sen. McCain Leads A Delegation Of US Senators To Saudi Arabia And Qatar To Discuss Syria


The Guardian: John McCain leads US delegation of senators on tour to train Syrian rebels

* Group met with Saudi and Qatari leaders who support Syria’s opposition
* Civilians continue to flee rebel-held areas

Update: US senators in Saudi Arabia to discuss Syria -- Al Jazeera

WNU Editor: The optics of this trip are interesting. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are laying the red carpet for Sen. McCain and his delegation, and it appears that they want to show him and the U.S. that it is his efforts and strategies that they are sympathetic with.
