Best wishes to @SenJohnMcCain in Syria today. If he doesn't make it back calling dibs on his office.

(57,936 posts)If anything happens to him, the US is involved. Does McCain think he is the Lone Ranger or what?
Is McCain's trip authorized by the State Department or is he trying to embarrass the Obama administration?
Conducting foreign policy is not the job of a member of Congress. It is the job of the administration. Unless the Obama administration sent McCain or at least approved of his visit, he should not be in Syria. He might even be giving aid and comfort to an enemy with his visit. I don't think we have clearly stated, publicly stated, which side we are on if any, in Syria. Or did I miss the State Department's approval of his trip?

(90,690 posts)Of course he's trying to embarrass the Obama administration. The fact that McCain is an embarrassment to himself doesn't seem to register in his brain.

(57,936 posts)isn't saying so. Hard to say. He certainly acts like a Lone Ranger.
Lindsey Graham jokes about John McCain dying in Syria on Twitter
Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are close allies on foreign policy. So close, apparently, that Graham feels comfortable joking about the possibility that McCain would be killed in war-torn Syria:
McCain traveled to Syria on Monday to meet with rebels, making him the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit the country in the two years since the civil war began. He and Graham both support arming the rebels in their fight against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
McCain will still be needing his office as he has safely left Syria, a spokesman confirmed.
