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.

I have always wondered what was in this for dumb & dumber! Their shilling baffles me, people were better off with Assad for the most part. They and their minions;including odumbo have destroyed the mid east!
YES, WAKE THE HELLL UP. The Cold War is over.
Syria has been a Russian client state since the 1950s and the US, thanks to Obam-MCain-Clintoin-Grahm though it would be cute to go piss in the Russian sand box in Libya and Syria in the name of “nation building” and so gave the Islamic Fascist 2 new failed state to hide in.
Putin is clean up the mess our idiots created. He not gaining anything he trying to hold what he had from our neo con cowboys
Yeah. You are right. Those damn neo-Cons - getting us into WW2 and stuff!!
“Because if they can’t, the Saudis will stop sending money.”
Yes, but why now? Is it the perceived imminent threat from Iran (courtesy of Obama and Kerry)? How can he and his posse justify the massive death and destruction?
I wonder if McCain’s debt to his masters goes back as far as the Keating five? He owes someone big time.
Russia controlled Syrian politics for a while during the height of the Cold War when the brain dead Dems and libs were controlling America and the Soviet Empire was threatening us.
During Reagan when the Evil Empire collapsed, it changed. And until the current POS took over, the Russkies were kept where they belong - in a cage.
Go have some cavier, Vodka and borscht.
What happens over there, effects us OVER HERE.
If Putin really interfered with our elections, he should get a medal.
"I find that no matter what these two assclowns want, I seem to want the opposite.
Aleppo became a hellhole warzone when we prolonged the conflict by supporting the “moderate” rebel groups (that are easily as bad as ISIS). Were it not for our support, Assad’s forces and the Russians would’ve routed those clowns a while ago and it would be over.
Saddam is dead. You want war? YOU fight it.
McCain’s debt goes back to Viet Nam. He is a Manchurian candidate.
Evidently so.
I want mccain, mcconnell et al to STFU
Come on man. You’ve seen me on the board a thousand times.
You should have known better :)
At least you didn’t call me a jerk or anything! I appreciate that!

America’s greatest threat is NOT Russia or Assad. It’s the Islamofascists and the Neo-Marxist scum that LIVES WITHIN OUR NON-EXISTANT BORDERS.
YOU “wake the hell up!”
“McCain’s debt goes back to Viet Nam. He is a Manchurian candidate.”
You may be right. That makes as much sense as any other explanation for his strange behavior and many successful campaigns.
Glad at least that Trump has called him out.
By now most Americans have grown wise and won’t easily fall prey to neocon snake-oil sellers and perpetual war preachers. This isn’t the 2000’s anymore, where patriotism could be exploited for thoroughly un-American ulterior motives.
American blood and treasure always was cheap for them in order to further their warped ideological and financial goals.
Why won’t these brave neocon keyboard/media hawks head to Aleppo to help their jihadi brethren against Assad?
Doom on ‘em.
This is unlikely though because of how far into the swamp this behavior probably reaches.
He and the others are mother ####ers and I HATE them.
That f....t linda, mitch the bitch, Ryan that leprechaun ####. Hate them all.
I’m sad and sorry for death and destruction reigned upon innocent children everywhere, but Moslems have been fighting since their inception.
We have no business in their land and they have none in ours.
McCain, Graham and their ilk have already sacrificed too many of ours in their high-minded pursuits. Cease and desist.
Why? That’s rhetorical, right?
ISIS comes and kills them. Assad did not; in fact, he protected them by keeping all crazed militants repressed.
