Hillary Clinton: We Must Do More for Syria, Open the Door for Refugees

‘It is essential that the world does more’

CLINTON: "Look, Syria's been a wicked problem for a very long time and the images of innocent people, of parents and especially of children suffering in the aftermath of that most recent deadly gas attack were more appalling than I certainly can put into words. As I said yesterday afternoon, it is essential that the world does more to deter Assad from committing future murderous atrocities. But the action taken last night needs to be followed by a broader strategy to end Syria's civil war -- (Applause) -- and to eliminate ISIS strongholds on both sides of the border, so I hope this administration will move forward in a way that is both strategic and consistent with our values. And I also hope that they will recognize that we cannot in one breath speak of protecting Syrian babies and in the next close America's doors to them." (Cheering and Applause)
