Appearing on the Tonight Show Friday night, Arizona Senator John McCain lamented the decline in Great Britains geopolitical muscle, especially given what he called the neutrality of the United Nations in response to chemical weapon attacks in Syria.

And that's the "real reason" for the push to "do something" regarding Syrian. Otherwise, the world will see we have less MoJo than before and we'll going to "lose prestige" in the world.
