Our top story Arizona Republican John McCain took the senator floor earlier today to call for US-led aid air strikes on Syria,saying that overthrowing¹ the regime of Bashar Assad would also help stabilize² the middle East.

 

 

The regime in Syria serves as a main forward operating base of the Iranian regime in the heart of the Arab world.It has supported Palestinian terrorist groups and found arms of all kinds,including tens of thousand rockers to Hezbollah in the Lebanon.

 

 

Meanwhile the UN under-secretary General for Humanitarian³ affairs will arrive in Domascus on Wednesday.Also on the senate flood today,Senator Mitch McConnell talked about touring the tornado⁴ damage in the Kentucky community of West Liberty.McConnell says the town has been turned upside down by Friday's severe storms.

 

 

It was a sign of a total devastation⁵.The whole community has either being evacuated⁶ or in the process of being evacuated.

 

 

On top of that,the town received about 4 inches of snow last night.

 

 

President Obama met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuat at the White House for about two hours today.Speaking before their meeting,Mr.Netanyahuat said Israel has a right to make its own decision when it comes to its security.

 

 

My supreme⁷ responsibility as Prime Minister of Israel is to ensure that Israel remains⁸ the master of its fate.

 

 

And four remaining GOP presidential candidates are gearing up for tomorrow's super Tuesday contests.CNN political editor Paul Steinhauser says right now there is no clear front runner.

 

 

Super Tuesday may give us that.Let's see Mitt⁹ Romney's big night wins Ohio maybe even takes Tennessee and a few other states,that can really out some daylight between him and other candidates,but Santorum wins Ohio,Tennessee,Oklahoma,this thing can go on and on.
