I expect this America-destroying rhetoric from Levin. But from McCain?

No, excuse me, I take it back. I expect this America-destroying rhetoric from McCain, too.

IN NO SMALL MEASURE, I AM GRATEFUL JOHN MCCAIN DID NOT BECOME PRESIDENT.

Better the devil be a Democrat, than a Republican.

Once again, RINO McCain bails out Mr. Obama and his incompetent world policeman mentality and gives the shield of bipartisanship.
A few distinctions in Obamas Endless War Policy.
1. There were no Russian troops or ships in Libya.
2. In Syria, there are Russian troops, ships and a strategic Russian port which is a Russian national interest.
3. The US had a functional National aircraft program.

How many endless, thoughtless Wars will Mr. Obama and the Democrat Liberals force on the American people?

As long as Islamists are killing each other, we should stay out of it. We should have stayed out of Libya and maybe they would still be killing each other.

Carl Levin wants to curry favor with his Sunni Arab constituents by helping their Sunni Arab Syrian brethren slaughter the infidel. McCain, on the other hand, is just a blue-blooded retard who doesn’t even have the inbreeding characteristic of European royalty as an excuse.

Russia already HAS Syria and they could have their WMDs back too, if they wanted to go get them

No wussy airstrikes, either, Spec ops Russian style, take no prisoners

McCain is nuts and Levin is a tyical liberal chickenhawk arrogant POS. If he wants to call in airstrikes let him ride in the back seat of the first wave in

Has Syria attack us?

Does McCain want Obama to ask for a formal declaration of war? or just more bomb, bomb, bomb wherever.

Does Rand Paul consider missile bombing a lesser extension of Executive power than drones?

Can you cite one active armed conflict in the world that does not involve Muslims? What percentage of armed conflict today is Green on Green?

Agree on staying out of Syria. American escalation into Syria stemmed from CIA in Benghazi exporting Libyan weaponry to Syrian jihadi rebels. Assad and Russia vs. Saudi Arabia and USA have produced a meat-grinder. The price of oil conveniently fits into the equation.

Fly over Syria, and throw Obama and McCain at them. Let them know we are serious.

Syria is a joint client of Iran and Russia

Russia was willing to throw Qadaffi under the bus and look what we (and they) got for that- the Libyan oilfields for the EU bankers

I see no upside for Russia, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey or Israel to letting the senile warhorse McCain and that snake John Brennan lead the US into some “bipartisan” grandstanding US-islamic military crusade into Syria to destroy what little social order remains and let al Qaeda-affliated tribes with flags start carving up the country.

“Club Med Somalia”

But hey that’s just me, a despised American (by my own government)

The Saudis own Brennan's gang, McCain and the American progressive gaggle. Absent Saudi influence, USA would be oil independent.

There’s also the unpleasantness associated with the armed narco-marxists in South America, but one has to look hard to find instances.

How bad is it that a guy who was unable to successfully strike N. Vietnam from the air now wants to order our sons and daughters to do so? When do they ever learn?
