STATEMENT BY SASC CHAIRMAN JOHN McCAIN ON BOMBING OF SCHOOLS & HOSPITALS IN SYRIA

Washington, D.C. ­– U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement on the recent airstrikes on schools and hospitals in Syria:

“The intensification of Russian airstrikes in Syria over the past two days, including the bombing of schools and hospitals, is tragically unsurprising. After all, none of it violates the recent agreement for a cessation of hostilities, which permits Russian forces and its proxies to continue fighting for another week. As expected, our adversaries in Syria are using that time to accelerate and conclude their siege on Aleppo. Once that is done, they will be able to continue bombing terrorist groups, which the Putin and Assad regimes insist is everyone. This is diplomacy in the service of military aggression, and unfortunately, the Obama administration is enabling it. The cost is not only the lives of many more innocent Syrians, but the continued empowerment of ISIL and diminishment of U.S. credibility and influence in the Middle East.”

I am thinking Putin is reading this and enjoying McCain's discomfort. John, tell your jihad Syrian allies not to hide in schools and Russia will not bomb them. Maybe.

Trump is right about McCain. A war hero is one who is caught, and escapes....lol....How many planes did McCain bury before he was caught?

Once again, LOL.

No proof who fired. But it was in an area that Turkey has been shelling for 3 days. Could have been Turkey, Russia, Syria, US, NATO, Iran, Hezbolla who knows. Big cluster puck that is only getting bigger

So McShame knows for fact that the alleged schools and hospitals were not protecting terrorists and their bomb making operations?

A terrorist target is a terrorist target, does not matter if it’s a 5 year old suicide girl with explosives strapped to her body, or a hospital full of weapons and other war material.

The only way to win a war is to kill the enemy and reduce his ability to wage war. The Ruskies know how, pansy ass Unipartiests only know how to cower, betray us and lose.

Go to Hell, McCain!!

Oy. McCain is really a softie with enemies, isn’t he? He likes to play by the enemies’ rules. We need to have standards and rules about civilians and children, but we need to be very flexible because if we telegraph that we will never hit anything marked “school, “ what will our enemies mark all of their headquarters and munitions warehouses? Duh.

What about the schools and hospitals that were bombed in Serbia in 1999, with YOUR hearty approval, John McCain?

Our adversaries? What makes them “our” adversaries?

Did McCain ever bomb any civilians on his few bombing runs before he broke the rules and got shot down?
