McCain made the following statement to KFYI's Mike Broomhead on Thursday:
The fact is [Syrian President] Bashar Assad has massacred 100,000 people. The conflict is spreading. The king of Jordan cannot stand. Lebanon is evolving. Iraq is now become a haven for al-Qaeda and violence is greater than since 2008. The Russians are all in, the Iranians are all in, and it’s an unfair fight. And no one wants American boots on the ground. Nor will there be American boots on the ground because there would be an impeachment of the president if they did that.
McCain sat down with Broomhead after a town hall in Phoenix on Thursday, where the senator encountered a tough crowd largely opposed to military action in Syria. McCain said at that event he is "unalterably opposed to having a single American boot on the ground in Syria."
"The American people wouldn't stand for it," McCain said. "Second of all, it would not be anything but counterproductive to do that. American blood and treasure is too precious to do that."
