"There is a possibility if not a probability of a stalemate, and that should be of deep concern to us," the former presidential candidate and ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee told AFP.

It is treason under US Law to give aid and comfort to a named terror organization on the State Department's Terrorist list.

Last I checked Al Qaida was at the head of the list.

Mc KLAin should be strait jacketed.

He is known islamofascist supporter.

How the voters of his state could believe anything McCain says, after having watched him over so many years, is a complete mystery to me.

“McCain was an idiot before he ran for office and now after.”

He needs to go back to his commie masters in Hanoi.
