John McCain: US Credibility Took "Gigantic Blow" Due to the 'Red Line'
  • 8 years ago
Senator John McCain describes how Obama brought him and Lindsey Graham to the oval office, saying he was going to degrade Bashar Hafez al-Assad, upgrade the Free Syrian Army, and change the momentum on the battle field, only to discover otherwise on CNN a week later. McCain calls this "a defining moment," saying this is why the Saudis went into Yemen on their own and that a foreign minister from one of the gulf countries told McCain they thought "it was better to be America's enemy than America's friend."
