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.

If you stayed the F out of it, and did not carry Obama’s water, and did not be a useful idiot for George Soros’s Arab Spring... all on YOUR heads McCain and Lindsey! All of it! That is why the Constitution does not give war powers to fucked up senators!

No... what is a testament to our moral failure and everlasting shame is our arming of jihadist groups seeking to overthrow Assad and install a sunni terrorist state.

I think between the two of them McCain is considered the “top” GOP senator and Graham is considered the “bottom “ GOP senator.

Aleppo IS our problem.

Due to our failure to remove Saddam when he started using poison gas, the avalanche of Syrian refugees has poured over Europe. Russia moved it and made a buddy of Assad. Russia now controls Syria, Iran and is working on Yemen and Iraq, thanks to Iranian help, and even courting the latest nut job on the Islamist scene Erdogan.

Putin is NOT a neo-Crusader. He is a neo-Czar. And he wants to control middle eastern energy sources to help leverage Russian energy sources and use them as a cudgel to re-institute Russian control of Europe and a neo-Soviet Empire under a new form.

He wants to weaken and humiliate us in the eyes of the world by violating our airspace everywhere.

Wake up!

Most war veterans especially those who lived through the worst parts of warfare don’t want anymore wars, but yet, McLame never seems to see a war he doesn’t want to start or fight. He’d been worse than Jughead if he was elected president. He would’ve probably started WW3...

Aleppo has become the graveyard of the neocon warmongers delusions of “reshaping” the entire Middle East for their foreign masters. Jihad McCain’s and Lindisis Graham’s tears of helpless anger are so delicious.

Team Assad for the win!

These two meddling, globalist, statist ass-clowns, along with Obama and Clinton, are responsible for the 5 year proxy-war on behalf of the Saudis and their jihadi gangs, the massive death toll, and immigrant flows out of Syria.

Where were they when they let all the blood and treasury spent in Iraq go down the tubes? McCain is a leach.

He violated the first rule of gun safety - all guns are always loaded and have a round in the chamber - there is no such thing as an unloaded gun. Whenever you remove the magazine from a semi the next thing you ALWAYS do is rack the slide to clear the chamber. Twice. Always.

Yet total silence from McCain and Graham on the genocide and crimes against humanity, including cannibalism, gruesome murders via beheading, crucifixion , drowning , burning alive, sex slavery , rape, perpetrated by the Jihadi those two have supported
