are they shia backed by the iranians? who are they? until we know that, handing them weapons and exploding this situation in my view is not a good idea. i think the president should walk very carefully and very slowly, working with the russians and ramping up the efforts with the iranians. i think both of those situations have to be dealt with if you're going to keep some kind of world war not starting on this issue. >> that's what i think. you know, the neo cons' greatest dream is to get back into the cold war. my concern is, senator, let me go to you, senator koontz. mccain is not happy with the president giving nonlethal aid. he is not happy with ak-47s, heavy arms fire. he wants heavy arms and he wants a no-fly zone. is that going to challenge the russians to go in? if we go in with a no-fly zone
