McCain Slams Overseas Coverage, Requires Coalition to ‘Take Out ISIS’

November 17, 2015

“What we want is about ten thousand [troops] and a coalition of Arab countries, including probably the French now... where we can go in and take ISIS. They are not ten feet tall. We can defeat them if we do the right thing but airpower alone won’t do it.”

(snip)

“For years we have sought a no-fly zone, a place where refugees could have sanctuary - we could train and equip moderate forces where we could protect innocent civilians from this horrific barrel bombing. Remember its Bashar al-Assad that’s killed 240 thousand of his people... that has caused to a large degree these millions of refugees. Then we get a coalition force composed of mostly Arab… hopefully some European countries, about 10,000 of ours... go in with the use of American airpower and we can take them out,” he said.

(snip)

“I think that our values and what we want are directly contradictory to that of Russia. What Vladimir Putin wants... reinserting Russia into the Middle East... protect his base that the Russians have there on the Mediterranean and of course prop up Bashar al-Assad or a stooge that would replace Bashar al-Assad. We must get rid of Bashar al-Assad... He is an evil man... It can come to no good if we get in bed with Vladimir Putin,” he said.

McCain is crazy about Russia, his batboy Graham the same
To them Syria-Ukraine is all one battle of us vs Russia and they could actually envision gettng us into direct combat so the US Navy could use all of its hardware in glorious battle

Meanwhile Putin has alluded to his belief McCain went insane in Vietnam prison
It’s long past time for the KGB to release the Songbird videos and tapes from Vietnam
I can’t imagine wat they are waiting for , must be some big money involved
