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."

Sincerely,
America

Hey, John McCain has a book coming out at end of May! No wonder he has not shown up in D.C. Did he need the time to write it?

Looks like McCain will hold on to his mindless Trump hatred as long as he can.

McCain OWNS Syria and Libya. He should be prosecuted by this administration and the Hague.

Has anyone seen McCain lately?

He may already be dead and ‘his’ messages are from someone in his office.

The globalists were enraged and alarmed when Trump threatened to withdraw from Syria. Would not be surprised if the globalists have someone in the Syrian military on the payroll.
