The 78-year-old Arizona senator slammed the current administration on foreign policy.
Senator John McCain repeated his criticisms of the Obama administration’s nuclear containment deal with Iran, claiming it doesn’t have sufficient verification safeguards and gives a top adversary of the United States an extra $100 billion to wreak havoc and terror in the Middle East; McCain denied Secretary of State John Kerry’s argument (stated last week on Colbert’s show, along with every other public venue), that it was either a deal or war.
McCain recommended that the Pentagon redeploy “a couple thousand troops”—or “boots on the ground,”—to fight ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
