US Senator John McCain: Arm Syrian Rebels To Shoot Down Russian Planes
YouTube ^ | October 2, 2015

McCain reacted to Russia's announcement that it had begun launching air strikes targeting ISIS militants in Syria by calling on the White House to arm Syrian rebels with weapons to shoot down Russian planes.

McCain initially responded to Fox News host Neil Cavuto's question about whether he would shoot down Russian planes by saying no, but then went on to assert that he would arm Syrian rebels to carry out that very same task.

"I might do what we did in Afghanistan many years ago, to give those guys the ability to shoot down those planes, that equipment is available," said McCain, adding that the Free Syrian Army would shoot down the planes," just like the Afghans shot down Russian planes after Russia invaded Afghanistan."

McCain should be committed to some mental institution with no means to communicate to the outside world.

Senator McCain,

YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MIND. With all due respect, RETIRE NOW before you do any more damage to the USA!

I heard there’s this city where you can put up a Christmas Tree in public and not have ACT-UP throw condoms at you. It’s called Moscow.

"I might do what we did in Afghanistan many years ago,...

You mean arm our future enemies? Sure, why not.
