McCain: Trump Doesn't Understand Syria
CNN ^ | October 04, 2015

Sen. John McCain says that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump doesn't understand the problems posed by Russia's new role in the Syrian conflict.

"I don't think he understands very well the situation. And he's entitled to his opinion," the Arizona Republican said Sunday in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

McCain was pushing back against Trump's assertion last week that the United States should let ISIS and Syria's army fight -- and let Russia worry about ISIS there. Trump's comment came as Russia launched air strikes in the region.

"Do we want to keep slaughtering people in Syria that are fighting for freedom?" McCain said.

I don’t have a high degree of confidence that McCain has much understanding of how to tie his shoes.

Coming from McCain, that has to be considered a compliment.

Say’s the guy that was hanging out with the terrorists.

Our country is run by imbeciles. I’m quite sure there’s one of many village idiots, that thinks they’re the smartest motherfuc*ers in the world, that live in places like Arizona, Ohio, S Dakota, Texas, and every other place that put a bona fide, moronic, corrupt RINO in office. And they’ll tell you, at the dinner table, how fu*king smart they are.

McCain should just go away and take his buddy Flake with him.

“They are my heroes,” McCain said of the rebels as he walked out of a local hotel in Benghazi. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mccain-libyan-rebels-are-my-heroes/

We have people like John McCain and Linsey Graham who really understand the Middle East. That is why our policies have been such a success. Probably 90% of the arms the ISIS JV team have were supplied by the United States. These “moderates” will establish Jeffersonian democracies like they did in Libya.

My wife and I are both sick and have lost our voices. Now with this you’ve ruined both of us by making us laugh until it hurts!! What a great line!
