McCain: Trump 'emboldened' Assad with comments on US withdrawal from Syria
CNN ^ | April 8, 2018 | Eli Watkins

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."

OK, I know he has brain cancer and his death is imminent.

But would somebody please go put him out of his misery?

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.

The people who have an OBVIOUS incentive to try to further embroil the US right now are the pro-jihad anti-Assad forces.

Unless and until there is conclusive evidence of any involvement of Assad’s forces, we ought to suspect a “false flag” CW attack was used to try to get the US to strike Assad.

This neo-con warmonger loser will be gurgling out "War! War!" with his last breaths.

McCain isn’t saying any of this. He’s a braidead puppet whose strings are being pulled.

I was thinking the same thing. But who is pulling the strings?

Predictable blather from Sen. John McCain (R-ISIS), one of the leading Sunni Muslims in Washington.

Were the hell’s Jimmah? Been a week or so since that old bastard has added his two cents. After all, it was his policy toward Iran that made what we all, today, have to deal with in that area of the world.

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.

"...the Arizona senator said in a statement."

Video, or it didn't happen.
