McCain discusses the nature of the Syrian opposition and the influx of Jihadists into the conflict.

I want to say to all of you that I am so honored to be here to speak before this Committee.
I'm the luckiest guy on earth. I have served America's cause, the cause of our security and the security of our friends, the cause of freedom and equal justice all my adult life.
I especially want to acknowledge the leadership of Senator McCain of Arizona who introduced the Native American Languages Act (NALA) in 1990.
