Republican Sen. John McCain tore into Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Tuesday morning, telling CNN that Tillerson's recent comments about the US's policy in Syria represented "another disgraceful chapter in American history."
Tillerson told reporters while he was in Turkey last week that the "longer-term status of President [Bashar] Assad will be decided by the Syrian people."
The remark signaled a shift in the US's official position toward the Syrian strongman. Though they were criticized for failing to act against Assad's atrocities, President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State John Kerry had long called for Assad to step down in a monitored transition of power.
US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley took an even stronger position than Tillerson, telling reporters that the administration's "priority is no longer to sit and focus on getting Assad out."

Call Vietnam and tell them they can have their prisoner back.
Does McMoron every shut his mouth? It’s nonstop 24/7.
Sarah Palin’s running mate is an idiot.

John McCain was not elected or appointed to dictate the foreign policy of the US.
Anything that signals a shift away from spending American money and spilling American blood playing whack-a-mole in middle eastern rat-infested crap holes is bound to get a rise out of Songbird McCain. The more American flag-draped coffins he sees, the more potential campaign cash for his re-election.
Wish Trump would get the goods on McStain and threaten to expose him so he would STFU!
I wish someone would tear into McLoon and tell him to STFU.
Me, too! The Traitorous Bastard!
