John McCain actually said...

"If the Free Syrian Army units are attacked from the air by Bashar Assad, will we prevent those attacks from taking place and take out Bashar Assad's air assets?"

"The United States will not coordinate or cooperate with the Assad regime."

"Destroying ISIL will require more than military efforts alone, it will require political progress in the region."

"I take it from your answer that we are now recruiting these young men to go and fight in Syria against ISIL, but if they are attacked by Bashar Assad, we are not going to help them."
