President Bashar Assad will be 'euphoric' about Obama's decision to wait for Congress over Syria, according to Senator John McCain. One of the loudest critics of the administration's handling of Syria, McCain criticised Obama in an interview on CBS's Face the Nation. Referring to Obama's famous remark when he said the use of chemical weapons in Syria would cross a red line, McCain said: 'He didn't say, "It's a red line - and by the way I'm going to have to seek the approval of Congress." He said it was a red line, and that the United States of America would act.
