NewsBusters ^

Posted on 08/31/2013 5:21:06 PM PDT by chessplayer

Senator John McCain had harsh words for Great Britain Friday following that country’s decision to not participate in a coordinated attack on Syria.

Appearing on NBC’s Tonight Show, McCain said, “I feel badly about the British. They're our dear friends, but they're no longer a world power. It's just a fact of life.”

Ok. I understand. More mid east war interventions mean more world power!

Also means more kickbacks to corrupt Neo Cons... I bet their bank accounts are hurting right about now!

And if the Neo-Con’s like McCain keep getting us bogged down in wars, we won’t be world power much longer either.

My 88 year old dad is sickened by McCain. He tired of this lust for wars involving Muslims. He is mostly sickened by all the maiming and deaths of our young troops for no good reasons. Yet here they are, DC idiots want another one. It never ends.

He sends so many checks to wounded soldier groups because seeing their misery upsets him so much.

The scumbag cheered us into Libya as well and then started screaming bloody murder over the Benghazi attack as if he was completely innocent and just wanted answers.

A real Eddie Haskell republican.

Senator Senile Dementia. He had just enough guile left to corrupt
Senator Ricky Ricardo Rubio. The inmates are running the asylum.

No nothing to do with that, I just wouldn’t consider them to be a world power anymore, much like France. The entire West has become a clown car of dysfunctional nations in varying states of decay.

What a moron...Britain hasn’t been a world power for decades...But he knew that...

Now McCain insults the Brits since their gov’t won’t go against the wishes of the majority of the people...

“SHUT UP!!!
My god can this man become more annoying?”

Even if this is true, it doesn’t need to be said by a prominent US Senator.

His skin cancer?
Too bad it didn’t go far enough.
McCain is a useless breather and feeder. Good men died in VC prisons while that POS survived.
I truly do wonder about God’s reasoning, at times.

I hate to say it, but he’s right.


Neither is France, but he isn’t going on talk shows and insulting them. Maybe thats because France is licking bammys feet?

Sometimes I wonder if John McCain threw the 2008 election because he was promised the opportunity to do exactly what he is doing right now. Remember, he was photographed in Syria when... like a month ago? What is he doing, setting up the ultimate destruction of Israel?

McCain is not longer relevant. He starting to say crazy things just to get attention.

A quote from the episode of Doctor Who, “Voyage of The Damned.”

Mr. Copper: So Great Britain is part of Europe, and just across the British channel you’ve got Great France and Great Germany?
The Doctor: It’s just France and Germany. Only Britain is Great.

I guess this means Great Britain isn’t go great anymore.

If a certain North Vietnamese SA-2 crew defending Hanoi in October, 1967 had aimed their missile a little better, the world would be a better place today.
