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."

I sometimes wish the NVA aimed better in 1967.
‘I would send in US Armed forces to do the job.”
I would do absolutely NOTHING, other than get all Americans and all US property the hell out of that sewer! I’d give Putin free reign to do whatever he sees fit, and every muzzie he kills is one less we will have to deal with here. That dungheap is not worth one American life, and if Putin can glaze it over with radioactive glass, I’m behind him.
“is someone paying McCain to say these things, or does he just like to try to start major wars?”
Perhaps he and Scary Kerry need more POW/MIAs to abandon so they can get more huge bribes for “normalizing” trade relations with people who want to kill us. My guess is that there would be none to abandon because the muzzies would treat them even worse then the NVA.
Yes and I’m one of those folks who thinks we are going to pay
a big price for turning our back on Israel. (Not to mention abortion and all our other national sins.)
“I just can’t believe Obozo would truly be that stupid and a move like this would be....truly stupid.”
Yes, he really is that stupid, but he’s also a coward. Buckwheat will make a few whining noises then step off the sidewalk for Putin to pass.
yes, Carter walking around with that super-sized ornate show-Bible’..... is SO audaciously hypocritical ...
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” (Matthew 7:15)
He is so stupid, he knows not of which he speaks!! Another political fool.
Drones! Squadrons of drones, under control of gaming kids who want the most points!!
McCain is mad. WHY are we in Syria at all John? obama abandoned Iraq and left thousands, 10’s of thousands to die so why Syria? Are the Saudi’s paying you?
Does he have a Stockholm Syndrome?
That dungheap is not worth one American life, and if Putin can glaze it over with radioactive glass, I’m behind him.
With the exception of Israel.
I would give Bibi every bit of Nuke, and weapon tech he wants so he can help Putin glass the place, and protect himself.
Leave it to McStupid to suggest an attack on Russia...an escalation towards WWIII. McBackstabber won’t be happy until we are nuked.
If Obama did not want Russia moving into the void he left in Syria to handle the mess over there (caused by Obama), he should not have left the void and allowed Isis to commit genocide against Christians and others.
You're a week late and a dollar short for that kind of crap, McPain.
You're pushing for a war we can't win. And have no business fighting with this C-in-C.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Well, at least he's not talking about enforcing a no fly zone against Russia. I wouldn't object to the concept, but I suspect arms given to McCains Syrian Patriots would end up in the hands of ISIS shooting down US planes. His track record telling friend from foe isn't particularly good in the region. Then there's the administration, Iran good, Israel and Egypt bad.
“With the exception of Israel.
I would give Bibi every bit of Nuke, and weapon tech he wants so he can help Putin glass the place, and protect himself.”
I agree! I have always been, and will always be, a supporter of Israel.
McCain’s too soft. Our own pilots should be shooting them down.
Better, yet, Syria and Iran should be nuked, and Putin should be asked if he wants some.
I kinda figured that, based on your FR name.
I’ll do my best. I’m tempted to vote for the Dem if we can’t kick him out during the primaries.
We have a rogue government.
