President Gains McCain’s Backing On Syria Attack
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/03/world/middleeast/syria.html?pagewanted=1&_r=0
“Mr. McCain, who has been arguing for two years that the United States should support a moderate Syrian opposition, said he strongly urged the president on Monday to provide anti-tank and antiaircraft systems to the opposition and to attack the Syrian Air Force.
Mr. Obama indicated that “he favorably viewed the degrading of Bashar al-Assad’s capabilities as well as upgrading the Free Syrian Army,” Mr. McCain said in an interview.
Administration officials have told Congress that the C.I.A.’s program to arm the rebels would be deliberately limited at first to allow a trial run for American officials to monitor it before ramping up to a larger, more aggressive campaign. American officials have been wary that arms provided to the rebels could end up in the hands of Islamic extremists with ties to Al Qaeda. “
Great, let’s arm Al Qaeda...
Oh, and look at this flashback:
June 2013:
Russia asks Turkey for info on sarin terrorists
http://www.turkishweekly.net/news/151261/russia-asks-turkey-for-info-on-sarin-terrorists.html
“Russia has called on Turkey to share its findings in the case of Syrian rebels who were seized on the Turkish-Syrian border with a 2kg cylinder full of nerve gas sarin.
Russia’s top foreign official Sergei Lavrov tolday said the Kremlin wanted to get clear on the issue of chemical weapons used in Syria, since the allegation had taken on the role of a trading card in the conflict, becoming a focus of constant provocations.
“I do not rule out that some force may want to use it [the rumour] to say that the “red line” has been crossed and a foreign intervention is needed,” the minister said.”
With the way some of these clowns are behaving, I’m really starting to wonder if they haven’t dealt with enough filthy people that they now face dire physical threats if they can’t deliver on their end of the bargain.
I personally couldn’t care less if they face danger as a result of their own behavior. If they want amnesty and protection they need to come clean with the American people, otherwise let them pay their own pipers.
translation: if we don’t blindly do whatever 0bama says, it will be catastrophic
yea... I’m right on board with that
/eye-rolling-sarcasm
Now you’ve done it! Didn’t you get the memo? They’re “freedom fighters” not Al Queada or Muslim Brotherhood! These “civilians” need to be saved.
McCain seems very concerned about US “credibility” among allies and adversaries.
I don’t think either think much of Obama’s “credibility”. Certainly the British Parliament, Russia and China have concluded that his Administration has no credibility. Five years of lying has consequences.
It would be bad for McCain and his fellow star travelers...they are desperate to open a new acting school for leftist political hacks in Syria.
McCain has jumped the shark how many times??
“... the United States should support a moderate Syrian opposition ...”
Obama and the Kerry State Department are incompetent to discern between “moderate Syrian opposition” and al Qaeda. Even the Bush Administration, with much more talent and a genuine interest in American success, couldn’t pick out good opposition candidates in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Do some internet research. Lots of guys in prison with him said he collaborated with the enemy.
What in hell is the matter with that man? Effin loon.
I just responded on McLames website warning him about making himself “Obama’s bitch” (in those exact words).
a mistake?
How much is McCain being paid off to be the scapegoat for Obama’s Syria stance? Must be a bundle ... or some pretty good gig for someone in his family.
He has lost all creditability.
He main purpose is to be mac daddies top sock puppet.
Yet there are still people on FR who think mccain would have been a better President!
obama is useless, mccain a joke times 2.
Well then Let’s block and block away. (And then send McCain back to Vietnam).
Yes, because we wouldn’t want to stand in the way of this limited in scope and duration punitive action, would we. Let him do it on his own. Even if it were the 100% right thing to do, this is not the way it should be done. It’s not even remotely serious....or would that be Syria-ess.....
McCain would not have given us anything like Obamacare. There would have been no stimulus package, no Muslim Brotherhood operatives in the White House, no Solyndra, no school lunch program, no Eric Holder, no Janet Napolitano, no Chuck Hagel, and the armed forces would not have seen 4 admirals/generals fired in 5 years. There would have been no Benghazi, no SEAL Team 6, no Extortion 17, and NASA would still have 26,000 employees in Alabama and Florida. There would have been no Cass Sunstein, no Hillary, no Rahm Emanuel, no Czars, no funding for planned parenthood, no need for the Tea Party, 15,000 fewer IRS employees, and no tax increases.
So, yeah, I am one of those people who think he would have been better.
