Exclusive: John McCain Slips Across Border Into Syria, Meets With Rebels
The Daily Beast ^

Posted on 05/27/2013 11:00:06 AM PDT by don-o

Sen. John McCain Monday became the highest-ranking U.S. official to enter Syria since the bloody civil war there began over two years ago, The Daily Beast has learned.

McCain, one of the fiercest critics of the Obama administration’s Syria policy, made the unannounced visit across the Turkey-Syria border with Gen. Salem Idris, the leader of the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army. He stayed in the country for several hours before returning to Turkey. Both in Syria and Turkey, McCain and Idris met with assembled leaders of Free Syrian Army units that traveled from around the country to see the U.S. senator. Inside those meetings, rebel leaders called on the United States to step up its support to the Syrian armed opposition and provide them with heavy weapons, a no-fly zone, and airstrikes on the Syrian regime and the forces of Hezbollah, which is increasingly active in Syria.

Indict him under the Logan Act....."monetary fine and imprisonment for no more than three years, or both".

I hope he's not intimating to the enemy that he's speaking for Republicans or conservative....or both.

McCain was hauling water for the left in the way he conducted his dismal campaign in 2008 ( not going after Obama in every way he could have done.).

Now McCain is still hauling water for the left, and what McCain is doping could have us in a nuclear war starting in the ME.

Honest. The guys a stone cold idiot of the first water.

I wonder the same. Here is a man who believes too much in his own hype. Granted, he was a prisoner/survivor of the Vietnam War, and so were many other men. Now he's tasted power and he wants to hold on to it at any cost. He is a fool and is being used as a tool. He is a danger to this country, and has to be replaced. Hey, Arizona, do your job and get rid of this man with your votes..make it your priority.

Tea Parties around the country, it's time to rev it up and get out there...we have the left scared and up to their azz in scandals, and we must make use of this “crisis.” Be smart like the left and hit em’ back hard, loud and clear. We have the numbers to do it...the politicians are only interested in protecting their power and their azz. It will be up to US to do it, and we don't have time to discuss it over and over..its’ TIME TO ACT.

Contact your local Tea Party, join up and let them hear you loud and clear. We've got the proof, so let's apply some muscle and manpower and demand our politicians hold a special committee, as Mark Levin has suggested, but John Boehner REFUSES TO DO, BECAUSE HE IS A COWARD AND POWER HUNGY. DEMAND THAT BOEHNER DO HIS JOB. We must be more vocal, draw the attention of the American public. We have no news media who will do it for us...IT IS UP TO US TO BE THE TOWN CRIERS, AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO STAND UP AND JOIN US AND WE HAVE THE NUMBERS TO DO IT..NOW ALL WE NEED ARE PEOPLE WITH THE SPIRIT AND THE DRIVE THAT WAS SO EVIDENT DURING WWII. It's too damn quiet out there...what ARE WE WAITING FOR? Get out there and stand up for your cause..remember our patriots of wars past, our Founding Fathers, and FIGHT for the return of your country.

This tells me McCain, Romney and Hillary/(Kerry) are all on the same page. No wonder Boehner opposes a special committee. Issa’s hearings are likely just political gotchas about talking points and a video.

Disgusting.

Boehner is correct on this one. A special prosecutor shuts down all media coverage. Keep it in congress in the news while other shoes rain down

They can go to SP later. After plenty of damning information is made public

So, he met with our enemies? Did he have an invasion of the USA plan to pass to them from Dear Leader in D.C.???

Somebody please MAIL this photo to McCain with the question— “What other loyal Americans are you willing to have killed by your Al-Qaeda friends for the sake of the military industrial medical complex, oh Great Leader?” “For all our sakes, McCain— retire, now or change parties and at least seal the deal Mr. Reach-around (sorry, across).

It's worse than that. He's trying to make friends with people who ultimately will wish us harm.

McCain had nothing to officially offer them, or did he?

He needs to stay out of all of this.

Busy body.

He always want to interfere.

McCain is trying to repeat his success with Libya. He is meeting with and, undoubtedly, helping Obama in arming Al Qaeda. McCain is now s terrorist enabler and Obama ally. He needs to be drummed out of the GOP, but he won't be and will continue to sabotage us whenever he can.
