US must "turn up the heat" on Syria, Iran: top Republican
WASHINGTON (AFP) - A senior US Republican congressman said that the White House should increase pressure on Syria and Iran to prevail in the war against terrorism.
"We've got to continue the pressure on Syria and Iran," Tom DeLay, leader of the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, told Fox News television.
"We need to turn up the heat on both those countries to join us -- either join us against these terrorists or suffer the consequences," he said.
"We have to fight this on every front that we can find to get these terrorists," said DeLay, who recently returned from the Middle East.
"The United States ought to be ... fighting the war against terrorism, whether we find it in the Middle East or in Southeast Asia or in Israel," the Texas lawmaker said.
"We ought to go after these terrorists, as we have been doing, and eliminate them and the states that support them. And we're doing a very good job at that, and we ought to continue it."
DeLay also advocated limiting a future United Nations (news - web sites) role in rebuilding postwar Iraq (news - web sites).
"You saw what we went through with the United Nations in trying to deal with Iraq and Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)," he said.
"We should have gone into Iraq over a year ago," DeLay said blaming the holdup on the United Nations.
