Faced with a neutered Security Council, we have to redouble our efforts outside of the United Nations with those allies and partners who support the Syrian people's right to have a better future. We have to increase pressure on the Assad regime and work to convince those people around President Bashar Assad that he must go.
Secretary of State Clinton said the United States will seek new regional and national sanctions against Syria and strengthen existing measures.
"The sanctions," she said, "will be implemented to the fullest to dry up the sources of funding and the arms shipments that are keeping the regime's war machine going.  We will work to expose those who are still funding the regime and sending them weapons that are used against defenseless Syrians, including women and children. And we will work with the friends of a democratic Syria around the world to support the opposition's peaceful political plans for change."
In an interview with NBC television, President Barack Obama said, "The Assad regime is feeling the noose tightening around them. And we're going to just continue to put more and more pressure until hopefully we see a transition. This is not going to be a matter of if; it's going to be a matter of when."
