John McCain denies he knowingly posed with with 'rebel kidnappers' in Syria
Today, Mr McCain's office said that no one who met with the senator identified themselves by those names. "None of the individuals the senator planned to meet with was named Mohamad Nour or Abu Ibrahim," a spokesman said. "A number of other Syrian commanders joined the meeting, but none of them identified himself as Mohamad Nour or Abu Ibrahim."
The spokesman said that if the man in the photograph turned out to be Nour it would be "regrettable": "If the individual photographed with Senator McCain is in fact Mohamed Nour, that is regrettable. But it would be ludicrous to suggest that the senator in any way condones the kidnapping of Lebanese Shia pilgrims or has any communication with those responsible. Senator McCain condemns such heinous actions in the strongest possible terms."

"We can identify who these people are. We can help the right people," he said.

(17,064 posts)yes, its quite likely he's clueless enough to pose with kidnappers. The narcisist old fart just likes posing before cameras...time to step down, gramps.

Benton D Struckcheon
(2,347 posts)and for bombing Syrian runways w/cruise missiles. Has this guy ever seen a war he wouldn't want us to get into?

(17,064 posts)He's definitely senile...thats a stupid idea. A multi-million dollar weapon to damage a chunk of concrete that can be easily repaired in a couple days is really wastefull...makes you think he's being paid by the people that make cruise missles...duh!

(102 posts)Even my republican friends can't stand the guy. He's a lobbyist sellout and a complete loser.

(70,578 posts)..... he was one of the last senators along w/Rep. Dick Cheney to oppose the
MLK national holiday ..... still saying some of the racist crap from the '60's that
we can not be too sure about "some of the people" Dr. King was hanging out w/
AKA he was a commie.
2nd to last in his class @ Annapolis ..... crashed 3 planes, had something to do
w/ the explosion on an aircraft carrier, and lots of other things that should have
grounded his ass but his dad was an admiral ..... Johnny's background does not
show real class. But I'll still give him POW props but that is all.
I mean what was he doing in Syria? We have a POTUS and a Sec. of State to
do that work.

.....Had Obama been in that picture instead of McCain, the Issa, GOP, Fundies, McConnell, and MCCAIN would have been trying to beat up Obama with the jawbone of an ass.

(11,920 posts)should STFU, and stop trying to imitate Jane Fonda, who at least wasn't a senator when she met with the Viet Cong.
