Washington (CNN) - Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday that President Donald Trump's comments that the US military would leave Syria "very soon" had emboldened Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, resulting in the reported chemical weapons attack Saturday that killed dozens of the country's civilians.

"President Trump last week signaled to the world that the United States would prematurely withdraw from Syria," the Arizona senator said in a statement. "Bashar Assad and his Russian and Iranian backers have heard him, and emboldened by American inaction, Assad has reportedly launched another chemical attack against innocent men, women and children, this time in Douma."

Not imminent enough so it seems.

McCain should shut up.

You know, Reagan once famously told him to do just that.

I guess Assad gave McCain a call.

Brain cancer. Tragic. Needs to be replaced. Hopefully by someone more reliable and sensible.

“ More proof — in addition to Evan McMormon’s tweet earlier — that this was a massive false flag event to prolong/increase U.S. involvement in that useless quagmire.“

His statements are not really his statements.
They are written and released by his staff.
If he is so active, why isn’t he back in DC
doing his job?

Song Bird will go to his grave pushing for WWIII so his financial backers could rake in the money. I can't believe I once had respect for this neo-clown. I'm glad I was able to see him for the despicable lowlife he is.

McVain is an idiot. Assad would have far LESS reason to launch a CW attack now, when he may be hoping for the US to end its involvement.

I'm glad you didn't blame the tumor. McLettucehead has always been that stupid.
