McCain warns of economic crisis as forces evacuate Damascus

Among the buildings that have been partially evacuated are the General Staff Command Building on Umayyad Square, the nearby air force command and the security compounds in the Western Kfar Souseh districts, residents of the area and a Free Syrian Army rebel source said.

Assad has blamed the poison gas attack on rebels in that country’s two-year civil war. He’s also demanded that the U.S. produce the evidence against him.

Several factions of rebels are fighting to topple Assad, including Islamists.

McCain said it would be easy to establish a safe-zone in Syria with airstrikes and then get weapons to “right people” in the resistance.
