McCain: Obama should weigh bombing Syria without congressional approval

The Hill ^ | September 11, 2013 | Erik Wasson

I think one reason we got stuck with Obama was that moderate voters correctly assessed that this guy has a few screws loose and was fairly likely to start WW III.

Can McCain sink any lower? Here, basically, he is putting the reputation of a demagogue (Obama), who has repeatedly shown his own contempt & disdain for our Constitution, ahead of McCain's own oath of fidelity to that Constitution! The idea of a President waging war to protect or enhance his personal reputation, without Constitutional authority, might have flown in Mao's China or Nazi Germany; it certainly is not consistent with anything American.

What a tool.

I'll correct myself from #21. The government in place in Grenada at the time was a revolutionary one that had seized power four years earlier. Reagan went in and that government was deposed and a constitutional government was restored.

Protecting the medical students was the given reason. Restoring a constitutional government was a fringe benefit.

If McCain wants to make any parallels, maybe someone concerned about the Christians in Syria should go in and take back Christian villages which the terrorists have taken over.

Ugh! Tether him to a tree

[grania]

(McCain) should be involuntarily commited by his family...

I said that a few days ago. Are they so power hungry that they won't get this madman out of a position of responsibility? It's yet another reason to not want his daughter in the US Senate. JMHO

[Lady Heron]

This is why they need to vote and do it fast.

I can only imagine the manila folders full of damning information 0bama has gathered on McCain, Boehner, Graham and others.. Blackmail is alive and well in DC, thanks to the all-knowing NSA and their illegal data mining activities.

Every web search, bookmark, sites visited, Emails, phone calls and texts, television viewing habits, etc.. The NSA has it all.

Boehner has been reduced to a steaming pile of crap. He doesn't speak out against ANYTHING anymore. He's been blackmailed into total submission, to the point of switching sides in full compliance. He is a useless, gutless, steaming POS.

When that thing growing on the side of his face finish eating his head? It’s pretty clear that it ate his brain first.

[DoodleDawg]

He can use Meghan as a bunker buster.

May all their 21 virgins look like her.

McLame you should consider a really good nursing home

*When will...

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

McCain is probably orchestrating another chemical attack in Syria as we speak, as a liaison to the 'rebels' (Al Qaeda). Team 0bama will work hard to give 0bama the excuse he needs to bomb Syria. It WILL happen. Mark my words. Bet the farm on it.

I want to know WHY he went to Egypt (with Graham). Did he have a check to deliver to the Muslim Brotherhood? Hush money, perhaps? We need to pay close attention to the trials in Egypt of the Muslim Brotherhood.

[jazusamo]

Well said...McCain has got to be demented to support a narcissistic inept president who gives not a whit about this nation, I doubt he can sink much lower.

McCain needs to retire, before his senility gets the best of him, and clouds his judgement. Oops! Too late. I know that Arizona can do better than McCain.

[Mastador1]

Was McLaim rolling marbles in one hand and muttering something about strawberries during his pontificating?

[EEGator]

McCain would go to war with Antarctica if it were possible.

[spokeshave]

Dimwit nitwit mclame should be involuntarily committed by his family for the good of their family and the good of the Country.

Attention McCain family...here is your evidence...5150 for McCain

[dfwgator]

McCain would go to war with Antarctica if it were possible.

He once was going to declare war on the Salvation Army.
