The key bit comes at 4:30, a few minutes after he talks about working to remove Assad and ISIS at the same time. Old and busted: Two-front wars. The new hotness: Two-front wars within the same country.
Marco Rubio made this same lame point about the same Rex Tillerson comment that McCain is thinking of and got called out on it by Tillerson himself this weekend, as Ed mentioned earlier. Tillerson said on March 30th that it was for the Syrian people to decide whether Assad remains in charge (and doubled down on that position yesterday), a notable break from Obamas Assad must go policy. The Senates superhawks were aghast; regime change must be the goal. When the gas attack in Idlib followed Tillersons comments on April 4th, Rubio floated a little cause and effect: It was because Tillerson had showed provocative weakness by suggesting Assad might remain in power, he insinuated, that the regime felt emboldened to use sarin in Idlib. To which Tillerson rightly replied, how do you explain Assads previous gas attacks then?

No chance he would even pin the blame on this guy:
McCain is such an idiot. STFU!
Mccain used to criticized others for attacking other’s motives, yet he’s constantly going around attacking ppl’s motives
Every time I read about yet another McCain outburst, I despise him more.
McCain is consistent. He always shoots off his mouth to provoke attacks on Russia or Russian allies. —— alas, the biggest gift we could give our Islamic enemies is to make a war against Russia. That’s the moslem dream- to get the Christians nations to self- destruct.
McCain.....Dumb statement....Syria is responsible for gas attack. Think boy!!
“McCain: I think....”
Liar.
As abhorrent as Assad is, he’s the least worst of all options. The existing alternatives are far worse.
God was looking out for USA when McCain was defeated as Pres. He would have done more damage than the little ‘o’.
I think it’s time for John McCain to retire from the U.S. Senate so he can pursue a career doing product testing for suicide bomber vests.
McCain knows this, does he? I can’t get those pics of him and his buddies, the anti-Assad rebels, out of my mind.
Meddling McCain is more than suspect if one wants to truly investigate responsibility for events in Syria.
Sh*thead.
McCain would know because he and Linda were most likely behind the people who did it.
Gawd, McPOOP is so cocky and arrogant.
Yeah because Obama was doing so much for regime change. /s
Why is this horses ass involved at all?
He facilitated ISIS and kidnappers and was photographed with them...
The concept of using ISIS to depose Assad is asinine.... same stupidity as using al queda in Afghanistan... in fact ISIS/al queda call it what you wish are not able to depose Assad and we are being lied to that theUSA is fighting ISIS when in fact we are supporting them... directly and indirectly...
When do we get the truth on the ISIS arm shipments via ships from Benghazi to Turkey and direct to Syria... ?
We won the war in Iraq and Obama/Brennan gave it away and came up with the stupid plan that has let ISIS spread to Lybia and invade Europe with a “migrant” wave... Obama is a traitor and a jihadi ... he did nothing to stop the massacre of Christians and openly supported the Muslim Brotherhood... a terrorist organization.
I think McTrud did it by organizing terrorism against Assad.
McQueeg wasn't defeated, he surrendered to an Organ Grinders Monkey, surrendered much like he always has.
McCain be publicly shamed, then electrocuted, arrested as an ISIS-aligned domestic terrorist, thrown in GITMO for daily waterboarding, then time for slow cutting off of every finger, toe, and genitals without anesthesia, strangled to death, then forced drinking of lye and capsicum, followed by hanging, drawing, and quartering, capped off with ISIS members serially raping his corpse. Then I would piss on his grave.
