Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham issued a blistering statement Tuesday condemning the US' failure to act to prevent the "slaughter" of hundreds of thousands of people in Syria.
"The words 'never again' ring hollow today with reports that Aleppo is falling to Assad regime forces," the senators wrote, amid reports that forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad were on the brink of fully recapturing the besieged city of Aleppo from opposition forces.
"For four long years, Aleppo has been at the center of the Assad regime's war on the Syrian people," the statement continued. "Together with its Russian and Iranian allies, the Assad regime has relentless targeted women and children, doctors and rescue workers, hospitals and bakeries, aid warehouses and humanitarian convoys.

Agreed. But we have to deal with people like Solid Wood a nd TTFLYER who want to live in an isolated cocoon.
My sentiments exactly.
Looking forward to watching President Trump deliver the much-needed bitch-slapping that John McCain's been asking for for the past 20 years.
Why must we continue to suffer that doddering old fool?
War is hell. “No one’s right if everybody’s wrong.” Suck it up, buttercup. This is hardly the first urban siege in history, and unlikely to be the last. You don’t start WW III over a humanitarian crisis. It just exacerbates the crisis and expands it. Would it have helped in Guernica?
“Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham”
why the hell do mccain and graham pretend they’re so damned concerned about a bunch of Syrians; they certainly don’t give a damn about what’s happening to U.S. citizens right how in their own country.
the death of innocents is everyone’s problem. that being said had we never stuck our noses in it never would have gotten this far, the rebels never would have captured as much land as they did. Of course had Obama not chickened out from his line in the sand Assad would be long gone. I’m not advocating either course but the fact is Obama had 2 chances to avoid this and he failed twice. All these dead lay at his feet and on his soul.
McCain & Graham are stooges for al qaeda, al nusra, and the muslim brotherhood.
Who cares what these scumbag failures have to say? Trump, and the vast majority of the American people, don’t agree with them on this issue. McCain and Graham won’t get their way on this issue no matter what they do or so, and no one other than them will give a crap.
“...Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham ...”
Seriously... it is time for these two assclowns to be slapped back into their places.
They, along with the likes of Pelosi, are exactly what Trump ran against.
Their time is past. They are relics, and their only contribution is CO2 and bullsh*t.
I can’t take any more of mccain and mcconnell and linda and ryan.
They make me nauseous.
I can’t imagine they really believe there are “moderate” jihadis.
CANT TAKE THEM ANYMORE!
I do not agree with the proposition that the death of innocents is everyone’s problem.
Aleppo is a testament of a sovereign nation protecting against sunni overthrow of a alawite/ Shia government. McCain is so stupid he cant pour piss out of a boot before he puts it on. Mc Cain absolutely met with ISIS in SYRIA!! there is no damned doubt about it.
I predict Trump goes and kills every last ISIS Sunni but other that that— I don’t give a crap about these bastards killing each other but let us observe international law or we are going to see China invading to support “only BLACK lives matter” and we are speechless because we have shamelessly violated international law of sovereignty OURSELVES!!Screw McCAIN and his butt bot Graham!!
If you polled people on the street and asked which they were more ashamed of a) Alippo or b) ISIS — most people including a presidential candidate would respond — ISIS and what is Aleppo?
Top senators...LOL. One handed the election to Obama, an anti-American Marxist and committed war crimes in the Middle East. The other one came in last during the primaries with 17 other candidates.
Those are bottom senators.
Sick - help cause a problem then cry about it. Does he envision Aleppo as a new age Berlin - walled off from it’s mother country and serviced by daily plane convoys airdropping supplies?
I view every Muslim to be a potential enemy.
Its like when I see a mosquito flying around. Maybe its not going to try to bite me. But I have no way of knowing for sure.
