Saudi Arabia vs Syria

Saudi Arabia called Sunday for international action in Syria.

"The Syrian regime has crossed all the lines with its tyranny. ... It's time for us to ask International community to carry its responsibility and put an end to this tragedy that is entering its third year," Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said at a meeting of Arab League foreign ministers in Cairo.

"The Syrian regime has lost its legitimacy within the Arab world and internationally," He said.

The Saudi stance came as the Obama administration pushed forward Sunday on a new path toward military action in Syria, urging Congress to support the president's call.

Announcing that evidence collected independently of a United Nations probe shows Syria used sarin gas in an attack on its people, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States has to act.

"If you don't do it, you send a message of impunity," He said in an interview with CNN's "State of the Unio n." Read the story here.
