Paul slams McCain’s Syria visit, US role

US Republican Senator Rand Paul has blasted US involvement in supporting al-Qaeda-linked insurgent gangs in Syria and recent secret visit to a Syrian border town by pro-Zionist Senator John McCain to meet with the anti-Damascus insurgents.

According to right-wing US daily The Washington Times, the senator from Kentucky in remarks at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California said “I’m very worried about getting involved in a new US war in Syria.”
McCain, a veteran Republican senator from Arizona and his political party’s defeated presidential nominee in 2008 US elections, has come under “harsh scrutiny” since posing for photos with al-Qaeda-linked Syrian insurgents, who have kidnapped 11 Shia civilians from Lebanon.
Paul further added “They say there are some pro-Western insurgents and we’re going to vet them. Well, apparently we’ve got a senator (McCain) over there who got his picture taken with some kidnappers, so I don’t know how good a job we’re going to do vetting those who are going to get the American arms.”
Senator Paul also insisted that many anti-Damascus militants supported by the US and its allies in Europe and the Middle East are affiliated with al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra terrorist group, cited in many reports for involvement in numerous atrocities against Syrian civilians and pro-government forces.
