McCain Hires Controversial Syria Analyst Elizabeth O'Bagy
The Cable ^ | 9/27/13 | Shane Harris

Posted on 09/27/2013 12:55:41 PM PDT by ConservativeMan55

Sen. John McCain has hired Elizabeth O'Bagy, the Syria analyst in Washington who was fired for padding her credentials, The Cable has learned. She begins work Monday as a legislative assistant in McCain's office.

O'Bagy was a young but well-respected adviser at the Institute for the Study of War and had emerged quickly as an important voice among those arguing in favor of intervention in Syria. McCain and others had cited her work publicly before her nascent reputation collapsed when it was discovered that her claims to having a combined masters/PhD were false and that in fact she had not yet defended her thesis.

The discredited, lying analyst has actually just made another downward career move.

Yeah, the United States would probably be at war with 10 more countries.

John McCain is an unprincipled coward. Always has been.

The unceremonious departure of liar/fake Ohaha advisor Elizabeth O'Bagy.....was precipitated by her bizarre claim that the Christian-killing Syrian rebels are a "moderate, credible" alternative to Assad.

YIKES We reside in a superpower---a nuclear-armed nation---now lead by Obama's tight-knit, sap-happy narcissistic coterie, who were easily bamboozled by grad student O'Bagy --- an "expert" on Syria--who got fired for faking her credentials.

JUST A-N-O-T-H-E-R OBAMA SCREW-UP Obama has an aversion to truth-telling. He calculatedly seeks out people to shill for him---to tailor "expert advice" to fit his pre-determined goals. These people are all frauds, hiding partisanship as they kneel in obeisance to Obama. It is truly appalling that O'Bagy influenced policymakers that could have resulted in another bloody, costly Mideast war.

===========================================

WEIRD DEM SCIENCE O'Bagy, Sandra Fluke, Susan Rice and Samantha Powers all look like they were hatched from the same bad seed.

Leave it to “The Maverick” to hire someone whose “nascent reputation collapsed.”

At first I thought he was just mistaken and wrong; then I thought he was senile; now I think he has been thoroughly threatened and/or blackmailed. As a matter of fact I believe that the inexplicable, treacherous, counterproductive behavior of so many republicans is due to some kind of blackmail or threat from the White House. I believe this explains John Roberts’s sudden turnaround on Obamacare too.

Of course he did, Carney was otherwise occupied. Liars are interchangeable.

Please switch parties. Think of the attention you’ll get from the mediots!

Actually, he wouldn't. If he was merely a democrat, he would be ignored. He gets the attention because the other side knows if he gets his ego stroked enough he will return the favor by sticking it to the Republican party.

The old GOP died when Romney lost in 2012.

We are just now finally casting off the dead weight of the old GOP.

Their lingering stench was decreased a lot this week by nice cool breezes coming out of TEXAS and Utah.

When McCain came back from Vietnam and Hanoi, I gave him the benefit of the doubt for his traitorous actions because of the torture as a POW. Now I proclaim him as McTraitor because of his associations and actions with Islamic terrorists and collaborators. Come on Arizona, time to empty the trash.
