Washington, D.C. ­– U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today released the following statement on the Syrian regime’s complaint to the United Nations regarding Senator McCain’s visit with Syrian rebels last year: 
 
 “It is a sad but unsurprising truth that the Assad regime is less concerned with its massacre of more than 200,000 men, women and children than it is my visit with those brave Syrians fighting for their freedom and dignity. The fact that the international community has done virtually nothing to bring down this terrible regime despite its atrocities is a stain on our collective moral conscience.” 
 
 ### ||||| U.S. Senator John McCain tweeted his pride at winning a diplomatic “superfecta” Monday night, after Syria’s ambassador to the U.N. lashed out at him for violating the country’s sovereignty after McCain visited rebel-held territory in 2013. 
 
 A delighted McCain grouped the Syrian complaint with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s March 2014 decision to put him on a sanctions list as occasions when he had upset powers to which he was opposed. 
 
 The other two occasions were former Cuban President Fidel Castro’s September 2014 tirade, in which he accused McCain of creating the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) together with the Israeli secret service agency Mossad, and the time, he claimed to Fox News, when ISIS declared him as their No. 1 enemy. 
 
 The Syrian complaint was made on Monday, when envoy Bashar Ja’afari asked Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the U.N.’s 15-member Security Council in a letter to take “the necessary measures against their nationals who enter Syrian territory illegally,” according to Reuters. 
 
 Ja’afari also lambasted French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and former U.S. diplomat Peter Galbraith for entering Syria without a visa. 
 
 The Arizona Senator fired back at Damascus and accused Bashar Assad’s government of massacring its own people. 
 
 “It is a sad but unsurprising truth that the Assad regime is less concerned with its massacre of more than 200,000 men, women and children than it is my visit with those brave Syrians fighting for their freedom and dignity,” said McCain in a statement.
– John McCain has put together quite the résumé for himself lately, and it includes the wrath of Vladimir Putin, ISIS, Fidel Castro, and now the regime of Bashar al-Assad. McCain added those latest bragging rights after Bashar Ja'afari, the Syrian ambassador to the UN, yesterday asked the Security Council and Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to "take the necessary measures against their nationals who enter Syrian territory illegally," Time reports. Although Ja'afari blasted "certain journalists and prominent figures" for this infraction, he specifically singled out the Arizona senator's entry into the country's rebel-held territory in June 2013, Reuters reports. McCain took the opportunity yesterday to cheerfully tweet that "Today I hit the Superfecta! First I was sanctioned by Vladimir Putin, then #ISIS called me 'enemy #1.'" His elation spread into a second tweet, which read "Next Fidel Castro said I created #ISIS w/ #Israel's Mossad and today Assad regime tried to sanction me @UN for visit to #Syrian rebels." He elaborated in a more somber statement yesterday: "It is a sad but unsurprising truth that the Assad regime is less concerned with its massacre of more than 200,000 men, women, and children than it is my visit with those brave Syrians fighting for their freedom and dignity." (Is McCain trying to add Obama to his list?)
