American lawmakers are praising the U.S. military attack on Syria targeting the air base from which the chemical weapons attack was probably launched.
The Syrian military says at least 7 were killed at the air base, but the Russian military claims the majority of the Tomahawk cruise missiles missed their targets.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has denounced the attack as irresponsible and reckless, while the office of Russian President Vladimir Putin says its an act of "aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international law."
Speaking to reporters in the basement of a U.S. Senate office building, U.S. Senator John McCain hopes it sends a clear message:
IN: "I hope...
OUT: ...to pay."
DUR: 10
Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell hopes the attack sends a simple, clear message to President Assad.
IN: "I think...
OUT: ...still there."
DUR: 35
