McCain says no to US or NATO military intervention in Syria

[Bosonic]

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Monday that he doesn't think it would be appropriate for the U.S. or NATO to intervene militarily in Syria the way they had in Libya.

McCain, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has been an advocate for U.S. intervention in Libya, but said that he didn't think similar action would have much additional benefit in Syria.

"I don't see a scenario right now or anytime in the near future where the injection of U.S. or NATO military action would in any way beneficially help the situation, I'm sorry to say," McCain said on NBC's "Today" show.

15. Yeah! We'd be in Iran if he was POTUS & his timetable for occupying Iraq was 10Kyears, wasn't it?

He must have lost the PNAC map. Someone send it to him, please.

20. can't get his addled brain to encompass the idea, if there ain't a 50's song running through it.

probably never listened to Boney-M singing "Rivers of Babylon".
:evilgrin:

the pathetic, senile ass really needs to be put out to pasture.
he could pair up with donald trump - on dancing with the stars, grumpy old men edition.

sad he ends up this way, after his service and all.

3. That should end anmy speculation. thank god McCain is

on top of these things. (sacasm dished with a shove)

BTW why the fuck is that shriveled old goat scrotum's opinion worth a tinker's damn?

4. I'm sure the phone is ringing in McCain's office...

"Uh yeah, hello, John--this is Bill Kristol, grand neocon pooba...I'd like to say that you're
not really helping our cause. You know the drill John. We laid it out on our wacky P-nacky
website...Iraq first, then Iran, then Syria and Lebanon...Yes John, I know we're skipping around
a bit...I understand your concern, but why you gotta dis the warmongering machine?"

14. Lovely synopsis. LOL.

[freshwest]

16. Ah, you beat me to it. Well done, CoffeeCat.

[babylonsister]

[AlbertCat]

6. WHO?????

Oh yeah..... that old guy who lost...

[placton]

7. it's old "No for Now" McCain

[DreamSmoker]

8. When did McCain become president????

The way McCain is out there in the Media during his visit.. You would think he was the president..

[SomeGuyInEagan]

9. Must be off his meds.

McCain does love the warrin' and bombin'.

[AtheistCrusader]

10. Let me guess, like Egypt, Syria isn't a net exporter of oil? But Libya is?

Hard to connect the dots when they are printed so close together.

[thelordofhell]

11. Shouldn't he be dead by now?

I mean really, wasn't one of the knocks about mccain during the election was that there was an 80% chance that he would die during his "Presidential" term of 4 years?

[Turborama]

21. Seeing as he didn't become president & hasn't had to endure the subsequent extreme stress & strains

...which inevitably go with the job, that hypothesis still stands.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. No oil? . . . . . . No Soup For You.

[harun]

13. The oil reserves value on their military intervention spreadsheet wasn't high enough.

Sorry Syria, no "democracy" for you.

[conspirator]

17. They only get a tap in the shoulder package nt

[and-justice-for-all]

18. We should not be intervening anywhere!!!

enact the policy of 'mind your own fucking business.'
