.... When he visited Syria last month... What a warmongering SLUG.

(111,074 posts)McCain needs to explain just who he is attempting to deal with? Was this a CIA operation that got him into Syria?

(59,501 posts)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?

(6,335 posts)..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 dont do very well against tanks. They need anti-tank and anti-air weapons. Thats what I mean by American leadership.

(82,849 posts)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.

(6,719 posts)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.

Your guess is as good as mine as to what the hell that even means!
