McCain releases strategy for Afghanistan, preempting and rebuking Trump
Washington Post ^ | Aug 10 2017 | Karoun Demirjian

Sen. John McCain on Thursday unveiled a plan to increase U.S. air and ground forces in Afghanistan that would probably bring some American soldiers closer into harm’s way — a move that in effect rebukes President Trump, who has not yet decided on his preferred way forward in the war.

McCain (R-Ariz.) promised to present his plan as an amendment to the annual defense authorization bill, upon his return to Washington in September.

Well McCain certainly has experience putting other airmen -- and himself -- in harm's way. How many planes did he crash? 5? Not to mention the Forrestal.

John McCain likes to play-pretend that he’s commander-in-chief. What else is new?

SoreLoser McCain still pissed that he lost and an inferior Trump won.

With any luck Johnny Boy will be dead by September.

Appears to me the radical John McCain is attempting to force President Trump to telegraph his plans opposed to President Trump’s statements opposing such practice.

It’s long past time for McCain to be put in his place.

I’m truly sorry he is sick and wish him a miraculous recovery. Having said that, I wish he would resign and forevermore keep silent.

McCain has a diseased brain. What do you expect? He believes he is commander in chief. Probably doesn’t even remember the 2008 election.

There’s no fight this guy wouldn’t support. He would’ve got us nuked by the Soviets.

Hasn’t he violated the Hyde Amendment?

Congress foots the bill, the President decides how to spend it. Use your one good eye to read the Constitution, John.

mclame has what’s left of his addled cortex being eaten by cancer. This likely effects his already deficient judgment.

McCain has a diseased brain.

Hasn't that been true, for many decades now?

Better yet, put him in one of his old jets, and watch him crash it.

unless McCain is willing to sign up his daughter and son in law first, he needs to go back to growing turnips or whatever he’s doing at the moment

Who asked him?

Sometimes I think this jack-off believes that he’s the real President.
