Topic: General Dunford

Senator Lindsey Graham and General Dunford discussed the bombing of a UN humanitarian convoy in Syria, attributing the attack to Russia. The conversation highlights the tension between diplomatic efforts led by Secretary John Kerry and the lack of a clear "Plan B" for the Syrian conflict.

General Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testifies before Senator Wicker regarding the US capability to take out Bashar al-Assad's Air Force. Dunford states that while the capability exists, the US has not declared war on the Syrian regime. He declines to provide a public recommendation on whether the US should target Assad's forces, citing it as a private policy matter for the President.

Seymour Hersh appears on "Democracy Now!" to discuss his latest reporting on the Pentagon's internal dissent regarding Syria. He criticizes the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Dunford, and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter for following the "party line." Hersh also labels the U.S. alliance with Saudi Arabia and Qatar a "farce" given their roles in funding extremist groups.
