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."

Right. Tell us alllll about 'shooting down aircraft', Admiral McCain.
What a maroon. He and his mini-me Lindsey should just go away.
[launching air strikes targeting ISIS militants]
Well, to nitpick, they’re hitting Obama’s anti-Assad rebels. That’s why McCain is going cuckoo.
And why not, Senator McCain
Send over the manpads
For in Syria the CIA has trained and armed thousands of Bin Ladens whereas in Afghanistan they only shipped Stingers to one Bin Laden
Retire
Soon
Brilliant solution, Senator. Absolutely brilliant.
Why can’t they use what they already have that they got from Hildabeast funneled through Benghazi?
What did they do with the billions in arms we already gave them?
We need pictures of McLame and his ISIS buddies!!!!
We should also arm the statue of Venus so she can give high fives.
What if they shoot down our planes or those of our allies instead?
songbird’s got no credibility. None.
Except for scrooing up US military operations. He’s got those maneuvers down pretty good.
John McCain created this entire imbroglio.
Why should we listen to him about anything..?
Go crash a plane, Juan...
We can’t. Too many illegals and Californicators. All we can do is apologize for our past idiocy when we could have pulled it off and failed in our duty as Americans.
Go away McCain!
You got my drift.
Yes and then what would happen - we have men on the ground in neighboring countries. Jeez. What is he thinking ..
Yeah, and then have the weapons seized by ISIS so they can shoot down US and allied planes.
Geez, McCain is off his meds again!
“’The Free Syrian Army’ would shoot down the Russian planes,” said McCain.
McCain is FURIOUS that the feckless and weak Obama has let Syria go to hell but now that Syria is a mess, it’s not McCain’s brilliance that’s needed.
