Perhaps it would be wise if all elected officials were forced to retire at age 75.
Anything in the Bible about Judas Iscariot being a “maverick” or anything like that??
It’s ok John, those nice young men in their clean white coats are coming for you now.
Though McCain might be getting old, he’s not bad when it comes to diplomacy.
exclusive? bwahahahaha.
Even worse, mcClown thinks Congress will solve this.... Because they are so effective at solving every other problem.
He’s insane. And oh yeah, he wants to arm Al Qaeda because they’re not all bad guys.
McCain is irrelevant. Washed out dud. Only good to slam conservatives.
Between McCain and Dumbo, I’d bet Putin is shaking in his boots.....not really.
Here's how George Bush stopped Putin in Georgia:
He started out by talking to him face to face in Beijing and letting him know, man to man, that it was not going to go as Putin imagined.
We had military advisors already on the ground there. Bush immediately expedited the return of 2,000 members of Georgia's 31st Light Infantry Battalion who had been fighting beside US Marines in Afghanistan.
He then sent in more US personnel and material on C-130s and C-17s...direct to Tiblisi and immediately (which is what we should be doing right now to Kiev). When those US C-17s and C-130s went in, they had a lot of US personnel on them in addition to the supplies and material...and that was in addition to the military personnel we already had there.
Bush did not pull those out...he added more to it and made it clear to Putin that a push into and through Tiblisi was going to put the US Military in the line of fire and that Putin DID NOT WANT TO DO THAT.
In addition, in short order, three US warships and three NATO warships entered the Black Sea. Some brought supplies, others stood by and defended them. The three NATO warships and one of the US warships were top of the line surface combatants with two AEGIS vessels and two other guided-missile vessels.
Putin knew that Bush meant what he said. He had seen it already time and again over the seven years prior. He consiodered the cost of rolling over those US personnel and what the consequences would be, and he knew there would be very severe consequences with a heavy interest payment.
The following are all pictures from the events of the day, during the Georgian crisis, of us material, more advisors, equipment flowing in. Of US advisors already on the ground and training Georgian forces immediately prior to and during the crisis, and US and NATO warships all sent into the Black Sea during the crisis.
Bush drew a stark line in the sand...and he did it with the US military even as the Russian forces were nearing the capitol...and Putin paused, and then stopped, and negotiated.
Now THAT'S how you deter a man like Putin. Stop talking and start acting.
“You have nothing to worry about with an obama presidency” - John McCain.
How’s that crow taste, Juan?
Having a vague, distant feeling of when our country was led by people that at least gave the appearance of knowing how to handle things in the big leagues. It all seems so quaint now...
Why is this any of our business at all? Crimea is Russian. Period. Split Ukraine East & West. It is the only way.
And Pussy Riot. Don’t forget Pussy Riot.
I have a better idea Senator - let’s force Putin to listen to you prattle on 24/7!
McCain worked with defense contractors as a liaison officer to the Senate in the late 1970’s.
I figure he still works with them trying to get this country mixed up in places around the world so the contractors can get some business.
My God, McLame found another TV camera...run!
Here’s how we punish mclame.................nursing home!
