McCain and Graham Want Ground Troops in Syria, President Trump Says No
Townhall ^ | April 12, 2017 | Justin Holcomb

Sens. Lindsey Graham and John McCain released a joint statement on Tuesday urging President Donald Trump to bolster ground efforts in Syria.

"As part of a broader strategy, we urge the President to take greater military action to achieve our objectives, including grounding the Syrian air force and establishing safe havens inside Syria to protect Syrians,” the statement reads.

“There will never be a diplomatic solution as long as Assad dominates the battlefield,” according to McCain, the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, and Graham, who chairs an appropriations subcommittee.

These 2 unhinged clowns won’t be happy till they’ve started WW3. Given that Syria is going to be the battleground it is starting to sound an awful lot like Armageddon.

Juan and Linda both were in the military, let THEM lead the way. Getting bogged down in the Syrian civil war will prevent Trump from draining the swamp and cost us a LOT of casualties over a country that no one really cares about.

McCain and Graham can be human shields for the next air strike for all I care. We’ll be happy to accept new senators for Arizona and South Carolina.

McIdiot misses his POW days and is in serious need of a reminder. He and Lindsey should have been the only ones sent.

Total insanity and evil. Beating down Assad means giving the country over to ISIS and fellow jihadists. No credible alternative has emerged in SIX years.

Who would we fight? They are killing themselves in Syria. They also hate us. If we go over there with troops on the ground, they will unite against us and fight us.

I agree. We have no business trying to remove Assad who was elected by some 60% iirc. We do, however, need to fight ISIS and cooperate with those who also oppose it.

McCain and Graham for some reason want war with Russian. This would be insane.

We will get you first class seats on el Jihadist Air!
