Reuters: Two senior Republican senators criticize Tillerson comments on Russia
Two senior Republican U.S. senators criticized Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Sunday for saying that Russia may have the "right approach" on Syria and for what they called his lack of focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"His statements about Syria really disturb me. No, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin does not have it right when it comes to Syria," Senator Lindsey Graham said.
In separate television interviews, Graham and Senator John McCain, prominent Republican foreign policy voices, took aim at Tillerson's remarks last week that Russia may have "got the right approach" and the United States the wrong approach to Syria.

Update #2: McCain Blasts Tillerson for Suggesting Russia Could Have ‘Right Approach’ in Syria (Washington Free Beacon)
WNU editor: Senator McCain still has trouble accepting the idea that Donald Trump was elected President .... and that President Trump's policies on what to do in places like Syria are markedly different from what Senator McCain wants the U.S. to do.
