Senator McCain Urges Congress to Protect Obama’s Threat Credibility
frontpagemag.com ^ | September 1, 2013 | Daniel Greenfield

Senator McCain has had a busy day making a variety of confused statements

1. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is “euphoric” about President Obama’s surprise announcement Saturday that he will seek congressional authorization for a limited strike in the war-torn country, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Sunday on “Face the Nation.”

2. Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., criticized President Barack Obama’s plans for limited air strikes on Syria as “cosmetic” Friday, saying the failure of the United States to intervene in the country’s civil war was “shameful.”

3. “We’re in a bit of a dilemma here, because I think Senator Lindsey Graham and I and others will be wanting a strategy, a plan, rather than just, ‘We’re going to launch some cruise missiles and that’s it.’”

4. “The consequences of the Congress of the United States overriding a decision of the President of the United States of this magnitude are really very, very serious,” he said. “And already we’re sending a bad signal to Iran, to North Korea, to Bashar al-Assad. But if we overrode the president’s decision, and did nothing?”

McCain does have a point on the last one. This whole thing is sending a terrible message, but starting a war that will aid our enemies to avoid looking stupid because Obama shot his mouth off sounds even worse.

“The consequences of the Congress of the United States overriding a decision of the President of the United States of this magnitude are really very, very serious,” he said.

What the hell are you talking about??? He hasn't MADE a decision! He said Syria "should" be struck. He didn't say he was going to do it.

Maybe they should get an old F-4, strap McCain in, let him take off and that will be it.

Tell you what, Juan, since you're The Great Compromiser.

Tell Soetoro you won't override his decision if he'll stop overriding Congress's.

HA! What do you think he'll say to that.

Actually, now that I think about it, he would probably "agree" to it but then promptly forget that he ever made it.

Really, Juan? More serious than a POTUS (and an illegal one, at that) overriding the Constitution and announcing he'll do whatever he wants in spite of Congress?

STFU, Juan.

Here they are, plotting...

Uber RINO Lindsey Ping

John: Linda, you won't believe the weekend I have planned just for us.

Linda: Sounds good. BTY, I love what you're doing with your left hand. Shall I bend over this chair a bit more?

Want on or off this ping list?

Sultan Knish's Zimm satire fell a little flat with me.

It's past time to let Zimm go as a news item.

Maverick Juan McLame actually made those points today:
