Photos were posted here. This groups looks charming compared to the Neo-Nazi's he met with.... UGH.

Who does he work for, anyway?

Sheesh....

McCain needs to explain just who he is attempting to deal with? Was this a CIA operation that got him into Syria?

This is Congressional oversight. The problem is that he manages to get in strange groups far too often. Maybe because he really is not that sharp on what the divisions are. Remember in 2008 how Joe Lieberman had to correct him on Sunni/Shiite so many times ... in public?

His current wife knows that very well, and doesn't let him leave the house without wearing a GPS-equipped chastity belt.

"What do you MEAN we shouldn't arm the Syrian rebels, because we can't tell the good guys from the bad guys? Look, it's EASY! Here I am, mugging for the camera with a bunch of the GOOD guys, okay!?"

Seriously, how many 'passes' does this clown GET from the MSM?

..McCain slammed the Obama administration for exhibiting a lack of leadership in the region.

“We appreciate the efforts that our allies continue to make in the region, but we clearly see a region in turmoil, an example being the massive protests in Cairo today,” he said. “It requires American leadership in every instance and we are disappointed that there is an absence of American leadership.”

Asked by The Jerusalem Post what he meant, McCain elaborated: “We see Hezbollah with as many as 5,000 troops in Syria, we see Russian equipment falling in on a daily basis, we see the Iranian Revolutionary Guards providing training equipment, boots and troops on the ground.

“Meanwhile, the freedom fighters have only light weapons,” he continued. “It is an unfair fight. So what we want to see is the declaration of a no-fly zone. We can take out their runways and negate their air power using Patriot missile batteries close to the no-fly zone and provide the weapons that they really need. AK-47s don’t do very well against tanks. They need anti-tank and anti-air weapons. That’s what I mean by American leadership.”

Luckily, no matter what John McCain intoned last week with fierce, deathless conviction, nobody who matters will remember at all that what he's saying this week (with the same fierce, deathless conviction) is diametrically opposite to what he said then. It's an amazing form of media amnesia that keeps bringing John McCain on to bloviate about his latest, deepest-held feelings.

He has a loose link somewhere. Maybe there is a reason he likes to go to visit terrorists. He certainly never seems to go home. He is scrambled.

Did I forget about ole Joe? Sorry. Getting souvenir photos taken with the ISIS guys seems like a tall order for someone who professes to detest terrorists, but hey, he's certainly doing his level best not to disappoint!

"We cannot forever hide the truth about ourselves, from ourselves." ......... John McCain


Your guess is as good as mine as to what the hell that even means!
(He himself probably doesn't even know what it means)
