After a gas attack reportedly killed
dozens of civilians in Syria Tuesday, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., took
on President Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, calling the
United States’ failure to intervene a “disgraceful chapter in American
history.”
“We’ve seen this movie before,” McCain said on CNN’s “New Day,” referring to Syrian President Bashar Assad’s
numerous attacks on his own people with chemical weapons, including one
after President Barack Obama declared such attacks a “red line” that
would warrant U.S. military action.

McCain,
a longtime advocate of arming Syrian rebels and removing Assad from
power, also barbed Tillerson, who recently said whether Assad will stay
in power “will be decided by the Syrian people.” McCain called that
remark “one of the more incredible statements I’ve ever heard,” echoing a fiery statement he released previously.
“Syrian
people cannot decide the fate of Assad or the future of their country
when they are being slaughtered by Assad’s barrel bombs, Putin’s
aircraft and Iran’s terrorist proxies,” McCain said Thursday. “U.S.
policy must reflect such basic facts.”
Calling
Assad “one of the great brutal dictators in history,” McCain emphasized
that leaving the Syrian president in power would contradict the United
States’ duty to spread democracy throughout the world.
“These are war crimes on the scale … almost unmatched since Nazi Germany or Pol Pot.”
Although
McCain expressed “confidence” in the Trump administration’s national
security team, he lamented what he said was a lack of conviction in
America’s policy toward the Syrian civil war.
“I don’t see any doctrine right now,” he said.
