On Friday, leaders from 10 countries - Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom released a statement in line with the U.S.
condemnation of Syrias use of chemical weapons, calling for a strong international response but not mentioning military action. And U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged Saturday a European Union statement that also offered moral support but not military support.
Pressed on whether there are any countries willing to provide military equipment or assistance, McDonough continued to point to statements of moral support.
We have plenty of support. Im not going to get into who's going to do what in any particular operation. We feel very good about the support we have, he said.
