Sen. John McCain wanted to spend the night with rebels linked to kidnappers during his visit to Syria in May, according to a pundit who has been advocating an American strike against Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
Elizabeth O’Bagy, Syria team leader at the Institute for the Study of War, told The Daily Caller the Arizona Republican was so taken with his Sunni guerrilla hosts that he had to be “forced” by his security detail to leave.
In an exclusive interview with TheDC, O’Bagy described the trip she arranged for the senator through the Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF).
“The rebels had opened their doors and were welcoming McCain to stay and have dinner at their house and stay the night,” O’Bagy said. “It was a very fascinating trip…It was really great to see an American politician reach out to the Syrian people in ways that no one else has done.”
McCain communications director Brian Rogers confirmed O’Bagy’s account. “Yes,” Rogers wrote in an email to The Daily Caller, “he wanted visit with them longer, including until the next day.”
“Senator McCain’s security detail was forcing him to leave and was pushing him out the door and wanted to get him back to Turkey…Senator McCain wanted to stay the night and learn more about the rebels. One of the messages that McCain got from Idris is that the opposition “didn’t need pizza but needed weapons,” O’Bagy said.

So did they invite him to have dinner, or did they invite him *for* dinner - as in the main course?
I’d really like to know this man’s sources in income.
Screw his income.
I’d like a full psych evaluation.
But then again that would wipe out fully 90% of Congress.
Hmmmmmmm!
Literacy and Civics test for voting and a Psych test to hold office.......
OMG!! He really DOES have Stockholm Syndrome.
Was Linseed invited?
He’d love that
Did McCain have the makings for s’mores around the campfire?
Is he reminiscing his Stockholm syndrome betrayal during his captivity in Nam?
Raving nutter. McCain is crying out to AZ voters—WHY do you keep re-electing me? Is there nothing I can do to prevent another six years of embarrassing you?
Poor Lindsay must have went into Postpartum depression.
I guess McCain didnt have his sleeping bag and jammies on such short notice.
McCain is an earlier, flawed version of "The Manchurian Candidate". He was just a little "too American" to start with, so they eliminated that trait on the newer, improved version.
And for office seekers, the same background investigation that anyone seeking a top secret clearance has to endure.
That would have saved us from the Obama _residency.
Of course he did.
He’d packed his KY and everything.
Hahahahaha!
“I’d really like to know this man’s sources in income.”
Wife.
Man, this is just embarrassing...
It appears that in 2008, the PTB offered the American electorate their choice of childishly willful globalists who were unfit for the job (and not just psychologically). You could pick the one with the race card or the one with the "war hero" card, and either way you'd get a Soros/Saudi-beholding, narcissist know-it-all with an astronomical amount of disdain for the average American. Well played.
Any political party that doesn't wrap this so-called "maverick" up in nice paper, tie a pretty bow around him and then gift his sorry ass to the other side of the aisle isn't worth a damn.
He. Makes. Me. Sick!!!
