McCain: Trump 'emboldened' Assad with comments on US withdrawal from Syria
CNN ^ | April 8, 2018 | Eli Watkins

Posted on 04/08/2018 7:19:46 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Washington (CNN) - Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday that President Donald Trump's comments that the US military would leave Syria "very soon" had emboldened Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, resulting in the reported chemical weapons attack Saturday that killed dozens of the country's civilians.

"President Trump last week signaled to the world that the United States would prematurely withdraw from Syria," the Arizona senator said in a statement. "Bashar Assad and his Russian and Iranian backers have heard him, and emboldened by American inaction, Assad has reportedly launched another chemical attack against innocent men, women and children, this time in Douma."

“Not tragic. No cancer. He is FAKING IT!”

Hmmmmm. Possibly. Wasn’t Jimmy Carter supposedly diagnosed with a form of cancer that was going to do him in quickly a few years ago - and he’s still kicking?

Yeah, but it’s kinda stupid to do something so drastic to draw the ire of an enemy that is so close to withdrawing. I really don’t believe Trump had anything to do with it.

In fact, I don’t believe Assad is this stupid.

We wanna see the X-rays of his cancer. For a deadly type, it’s sure taking its sweet good time. Who knows if it isn’t just a tale passed around to garner some sympathy for this human stain. McAnus needs to go. All he ever does any more is make nasty potentially harmful statements against Trump. Next, he’ll get up on a podium and blow a horn that imitates passing gas. That’s about on the same level of his other acts.

Oh. I see. Well, he’s been a royal
Pain and often a damned obstruction — I sure hope he’s replaced soon by someone much better!

[[McCain was up long enough to have an aide peck out a little tweet for him?]]

Could be his daughter saying these things on his behalf

Unless I see him making it, any statement allegedly by McCain will be considered to be staff written.

McCain should shut up.

Or give his advice to the President in private. No need to give the enemy a free show of disunity.
