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.

The Syrian people were better off under Assad than under the so-called moderates backed by Obama, Graham, and McCain. Especially the Christians.

And the Libyans were by and large better off under Khadafi than under the current chaos.

You don’t fight Iran by helping the arabs. We made that mistake in the 80’s

They need to visit the area personally and give us a detailed report—enough of this arm-chair general garbage.

yep, that’s because the US funded ISIS. If we didn’t we wouldn’t have had this Aleppo disaster.

And how many more people have died because the US and Obama and McCain specifically have sent in weapons and technical assistance to the Islamic terrorists trying to depose Assad? This war would have long been over had the US stayed out and let the Muslims and Russia sort themselves out. Syria was just the latest effort by Obama and company to depose stable Muslim autocrats and replace them with the Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorists.

Assad regime = Legitimate Syrian government.
Aleppo = Syrian City
“Opposition forces” = CIA/ISIS

John McCain and Lindsey Graham = Liars, Morons....

We’re tired of the blood-thirsty, backward Islamic rat-holes of the Middle East. If you’re so ********* ashamed grab a rifle and enter the fight yourselves you war-mongering pieces of s***.

How many people died as a direct result of the weapons McCain, Graham and Obama championed sending to Syria?
