Sen. John McCain said Sunday that the United States should have done more during its missile strike on a Syrian airbase — criticizing the Trump administration for not doing a “thorough enough job.”
The Arizona senator was specifically angry that following the missile strike last week, Syrian aircrafts were reportedly still able to take off from the airbase the U.S. struck.
“But the signal that they’re able to fly almost right away out of the same facility indicates that I don’t think we did as thorough enough job, which would have been cratering the runways,” McCain said in an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation”. “And somebody will say, ‘Well, then they can fill in the runways.’ Yeah, and we can crater them again too.”
President Donald Trump defended the choice not to damaging the runways, tweeting Saturday that the craters would have been an easy fix.
