McCain to Trump: Airstrikes alone won't achieve objectives in Syria
The Hill ^ | 04/14/18 | Rebecca Kheel

Posted on 04/14/2018 2:34:46 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

“I applaud the president for taking military action against the Assad regime for its latest use of chemical weapons, and for signaling his resolve to do so again if these heinous attacks continue,” McCain said in a statement.

“To succeed in the long run, we need a comprehensive strategy for Syria and the entire region,” he added later. “The president needs to lay out our goals, not just with regard to ISIS, but also the ongoing conflict in Syria and malign Russian and Iranian influence in the region. Airstrikes disconnected from a broader strategy may be necessary, but they alone will not achieve U.S. objectives in the Middle East.”

Etc...

Is he still getting paid? The jerk hasn’t been to work for months but he chimes in all the time. I’m beginning to think this is an act

Someone must be pulling the strings to make this noxious puppet dance.

No name’s brain tumor is patriotic
and correct unlike noname, his treasonous self.

McCain and HRC and Huma and the others who made
ISIS must be taken to military courts and executed.

I’m not happy about the attack either. This to me was deep state propoganda. That being said, this is how you draw a line. Trump has shown an eagerness to stay out of the conflict only to react when chemical weapons are used. The message is absolutely clear, if you want the U.S to stay out get rid of all the chemical weapons whether they are yours or not. Apart of the calculus will always be an American response. If Assad sees that someone (even if not his regime) will use chemicals he has an absolute reason to make sure it doesn’t happen. Again, disappointed in this but at least there is a clear policy.

McCain’s busy ducking dirty dossier questions and/or a subpoena.

Enforcing the ban on chemical weapons is different from trying to micro-manage the Middle East.

McCain is afraid of Trump. So because Trump was able to show he could wield and have orders obeyed, orders which could then translate to put the swamp to his boot, McLame now wants a piece of the leasership like a armschair general, trying to edge his goading Trump in war so as Trump not gain more power.

This is a slipsry slope

Still waiting for the day he dies within hours of “issuing” one of these.

Has anyone seen him recently? We don’t know if it is really him saying this stuff.

As far as I know, he hasn’t been seen in public since last year. Why he retains a job is beyond ME.

And I, too, doubt every word that comes out under his name.

since women are now allowed in combat units which IMHO is a mistake then let his daughter go put her boots on the ground in a war where muslims kill muslims and has nothing to do with us.

Juan still wants the US to arm and ally with all those “good rebels” he identified a few years ago.

Corrupt, money grubbing ba$tard traitor. His wife's millions weren't enough for him. His criminal "McCain Foundation" is a money laundering scheme for his foreign bribes.

Our strategy for the entire reason is, get the hell out and stay out. No more endless Middle East wars. If the people in that region want to kill each other, let them do it, and that goes for ever single country over there. None of the people in that region are worth a single American life.

The president needs to lay out our goals

What needs laying out is John McCain.

Recorded message brought to you by Juan McCain knowing that when neocons push the right buttons, missiles will fly. Shape the narrative. That is what they are good at.

I don’t believe McCain is capable of saying anything. I wonder who puts this garbage out?
