John McCain actually said...

Is it moral for us to train Syrians to go into Syria... when we are not attacking Bashar Assad?

The best way to deal with Assad is to transition him out so that the moderate opposition can fill the vacuum.

Absent that kind of political accommodation and willingness to work together, it will be difficult to sustain all of the progress in Afghani...
