McCain: Russia, Iran ‘Seek Only To Keep the Murderous Assad Regime in Power’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

"Putin's ambitions are blindingly obvious, my friends. He wants to prop up Assad, play kingmaker and any transition undermine U.S. Policy and operations and ultimately expand Russian power in the Middle East to a degree, as I mentioned, unseen since 1973. This week at the United Nations President Obama said, quote, the United States is prepared to work with any nation including Russia and Iran to resolve the Syrian conflict. It requires self-delusion of tremendous scale to believe that Russia and Iran have any interest in resolving the Syrian conflict. They seek only to keep the murderous Assad regime in power."
