Two leading U.S. senators, responding to this week’s horrific chemical attack on residents of Idlib, Syria, called Wednesday for the indictment of Syrian leader Bashar Assad for war crimes. Rubio said Putin is just as responsible for the massacre as Assad. The fact is Assad has proven once again he is a war criminal that must go. At the press conference on Wednesday, Rubio agreed that Tillerson's remarks likely encouraged Assad to launch his bold assault on his own citizens. “An attack using aircraft to deliver these sophisticated, ruthless and banned chemical weapons could only have been ordered by Bashar Assad,” Menendez said to Fox News.
