Roger Wicker: Issue of Syrian Safe Zones Needs To Be ‘Elevated to a Much More Serious Level of Discussion’

EXCERPT:

GEIST: "Those safe zones, the idea of the safe zones has been out there for many years now since this civil war started in Syria. What’s standing in the way of creating them?" 
WICKER: "Well, I don’t think our administration under the Obama Administration was very serious about that. And frankly, of course, we still have the same chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who has been very cautious about this. And I’m mindful of the pushback. I’m mindful of the situation that he’s worried about. But also we have had hundreds of thousands of fatalities of innocent people, and it just seems to me that this needs to have been elevated to a much more serious level of discussion."
