Bodies of the victims of an alleged chemical attack in rebel-held Douma Syria
The comments appear to row back on President Donald Trump's earlier warning to Russian Federation that it should "get ready" for missile strikes in Syria. Britain also scheduled an emergency cabinet meeting.
Donald Trump tweeted, "Get ready Russian Federation because the missiles are coming nice, new and smart. Get ready Russian Federation, because they will be coming, nice and new and 'smart!'", Trump wrote.
Update: White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded to McCain's comments Monday afternoon.
The delayed USA response is in stark contrast to last year's Khan Sheikhoun chemical attack, of which United States intelligence agencies had video and other evidence of certain aspects of the actual attack, which involved the use of sarin gas.
Trump said the USA is still working to determine who is directly responsible for the attack, which was widely publicized in recent days after graphic on the ground footage of victims was shown around the world.
"The raising of a regime flag over a building in the town of Douma signified control over this town and consequently over Eastern Ghouta as a whole", Major General Yury Yevtushenko was quoted as saying Thursday by the Interfax news agency. "Big price to pay".
Rescue workers and activists said dozens died over the weekend in a chemical assault amid renewed fire by Assad's government on a rebel stronghold near Damascus.

The US ambassador in Moscow, John Huntsman, said in a video: "Before we took action, the United States communicated with" Russia to "reduce the danger of any Russian or civilian casualties".
"The intelligence provided certainly paints a different picture", Sanders said.
Trump's tweets were more belligerent.
"You shouldn't be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!" he said, referring to Syria's Bashar al-Assad. He threatened Russian Federation and called its relations with the United States worse than during the Cold War, yet blamed the ill will not on Moscow but on the special counsel investigation. "Stop the arms race?"
The US says "all options are on the table" in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria, as Western leaders continue to weigh up military action. Syria's capital has been rocked by loud explosions that lit up the sky with heavy smoke as U.S. President Donald Trump announced airstrikes in retaliation for the country's alleged use of chemical weapons.
"By telegraphing our punch so early, you give the Syrians the opportunity to harden themselves as a target and you give them the opportunity to have more time to think through what our potential response might be", said Ms Christine Wormuth, a former undersecretary of defence for policy in the Obama administration.
The OPCW said it would "shortly" deploy a fact-finding team to Douma for an investigation, but U.S. officials said they were working from their own information and would not necessarily hold back.
