John McCain: Trump policy contributing to violence in Syria
The Washington Examiner ^ | April 4, 2017 | Kyle Feldscher

Posted on 04/04/2017 7:49:49 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sen. John McCain said Tuesday that the lack of a more aggressive policy from the Trump administration on Syria is contributing to violence there, along the lines of what was seen under the Obama administration.

"We've seen this movie before when Barack Obama said we would have a red line, they crossed it and we did nothing," McCain said, "Bashar al-Assad and his friends, the Russians, take note of what the Americans say … and I'm sure they took note of what the secretary of state said."

"I'm sure they're encouraged and know the United States is withdrawing," he added....

No balls McCain need to STFU and go away and get a room with Linda Graham.

I’d say all the weapons McCain, Graham and Rubio sent over there had more to do with the violence than anything else.

I am seriously praying that God disables my senator so that he has to retire from office, although it usually takes them leaving feet first ! That would be my alternate prayer...l

John McCain is a lying peice of garbage. Amyone who has ever sat across the table from him in a meeting knows that.

a group of his constituents needs to organise and send him an open letter telling him to STFU.

McCain’s support of the rebels in Syria transformed a stable dictatorship that was of no danger to us to a humanitarian disaster that is flooding Europe with refugees and terrorists and a culture that is totally antithetical to European values. They will not assimilate but choose to dominate and they are winning.

John McCain’s skills as a politician and statesmen are on a par with his skills as a pilot. I am not speaking of his skills in Vietnam as a pilot but as naval pilot in training. He was not very good.

I wish he would just retire and shut up. He does our great nation harm.

I forgot to add that at one time in Syria under the dictatorship of Assad a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim or any faith could go to their church and pray and would be in no danger. Why in the hell is John McCain supporting the rebels that are religious zealots?

Also, why are the Christians fighting on the side of the dictator Assad whom is an Alawite Muslim? I will answer that question, Assad wished them not harm!

Not a day goes by that I am not convinced McCain was in cahoots with 0bama and the the election in 2008

No doubt you are right Juan. Unfortunately, that violence is directed at your ISIS compadres who are dying in droves. This must be a difficult time for you and Barrack.

These days whenever I hear McCain's name I think of this.

When he speaks all I think of is this.

I’m shocked at what I’m about to say. We dodged a bullet when McCain lost in 2008, even knowing who we ended up with. Bad as Obama was, at least he didn’t start WWIII.

McCain would probably ace out another US jet if he did that.

Oddly enough, I'd be AOK with that!

For 8 years, McCain was too fearful to call out obama - afraid of the media coming down on him. Now he’s too happy to jump into the tank with America’s enemedia, and its enemies in the democrat party.

This from an idiot traitor pictured in Syria with an Isis terrorist. Jonnyboy calls them freedom fighters.
