This is beyond stupid...
Analysts counter claims on number of al Qaeda among Syrian rebels

Al Qaeda-linked groups operating alongside Syria’s rebels are growing stronger, analysts told Congress..
While Mr. Joscelyn said “al Qaeda does not control the entire rebellion, which is made up of a complex set of actors,” his testimony stood in stark contrast to that provided last week by Secretary of State John F. Kerry, who sought to downplay the role of extremists among Syria’s opposition fighters.
Mr. Kerry had followed the lead of Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, during hearings last week by touting the work of Syria analyst Elizabeth O’Bagy, a researcher at the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War.
Ms. O’Bagy, who has also acknowledged having been paid to work for another group that lobbies in Washington in favor of deeper U.S. engagement in Syria, wrote recently in The Wall Street Journal that “the war in Syria is not being waged entirely or even predominantly by dangerous Islamists and al Qaeda diehards.”
Why not? Contractors that were proven to have committed government fraud in Iraq and Afghanistan; some of their shenanigans cost lives of our troops, not to mention ripping off taxpayers- are still able to contract with the government for millions and millions of dollars...I guess track record means nothing these days.
Remember Yosemite Sam McPain spent a long time getting his brain washed by the Commies. They did a good job and I’ve always said the boy just ain’t been right——since 1973. You folks in AZ can stop with the sympathy vote now-—he’s doing way more harm than good.
Dishonest people need to surround themselves with other Dishonest people. Someone that will play the game.
It’s no fun to pile on. But, McCain couldn’t get a security clearance. Why is he taken seriously?
These almost lied us into a war. For the wrong side. Again.
McCain is neck deep with Georgian gangsters. Hellooooo????
(Are we allowed to mention AIPAC on FR?)
Someday, people will find it hard to believe the way America was stampeded into unpopular foreign policy adventures by sinister forces.
Not just her lying, but who does she and McCain really support?? Very strange and very sad. Our leaders must be very careful, this is not a game. Especially after reading about what really happened to the non muslims in the Kenyan mall. Straight from the pits of hell.
I second your nicely made point; I appreciate Cripplecreek too...
+1
McCain just hired her because he will never ever admit he could have been wrong. He will double down on stupid no matter who gets hurt or killed as a result.
He hates all of us that much.
He always has been a terrible person who has gotten a pass because of his service.
To me, his service excuse ran out many moons ago. I don’t thank this SOB for anything. I would thank him if he got lost!
