Senator John McCain (R-AZ) says President Obama should bomb Syria before Congress says otherwise and that he should ignore any talk of impeachment for doing so. "They're not going to impeach the president," said McCain. "They're not that crazy." According to HotAir, McCain said the president has to decide what is in "our vital national interest." He said if the "Russian initiative" fails, Obama should make his case to the American people once more and then bomb away.
In this way, he can carry out a strike before Congress has a chance to tell him not to do so:
If he launched an attack on Syria without the endorsement of Congress, it would be vastly more complicated if Congress had already acted. If he acted without the agreement of Congress, you could make the argument before the resolution was passed... that he is acting as other presidents have.
Ironically, on September 5 McCain said, "No one wants American boots on the ground [in Syria]," and if Obama does put boots on the ground it would lead to his impeachment.

I think it must be the Saudi payoffs. Probably half of Washington DC has been bought off by the Saudis over the years. Either that, or these guys are insane.
Somebody give this guy his prune juice and zoloft and tell him to STFU.
Please let the people vote. At the very least we should be allowed to display our displeasure at your crowning of the 1st American Emperor. Emperor Zero.
And that delay forced the Russian move.
Makes you wonder why there’s a concern about illegal immigration in AZ...could thousands of undocumented democrats really elect someone worse than this boob?
nobama should bomb mclame.
I wish he felt this way regarding the so-called nuclear option in the Senate when Republicans were in charge.

Can we send Senator McCain back over to Syria ~while~ the bombing is happening, perhaps a little close to a Chem. weapons factory (of course I am not serious-but this guy is a Bonehead!)..
And yes I know how he's registered. AZ must be so proud.
McCain is either senile or crazy. Or maybe he was crazy, and is now also senile.
McCain is a dangerous lunatic and he literally needs to be put in a padded cell. Failing that, if his dream comes true, he needs to be treated as a war criminal.
Trading McCain for Assad sounds like a good idea. McCain couldn’t be any worse as leader of Syria than Assad has been, and he would no longer be in the Senate. Assad could be given his own show on MSNBC, which which improve their nightly line-up.
I used to love the guy... OK, maybe he was RINO too many times, but since his presidential campaign, he has lost it. Someone got to him and it’s either blackmail or more likely... he’s getting paid. One way or another... this moron doesn’t care anymore and knows he may lose next time if he isn’t dead by then, so he took the “getting paid” route. Bet my life on it.
I’m tempted to search FR for the last time McCain said something I liked. I suspect it was August 28, 2008: “I am very pleased and very privileged to introduce to you the next vice president of the United States - Governor Sarah Palin of the great state of Alaska.”
someone somewhere must have video of McCain and a barnyard animal and blackmailing him.
Either that or the guy is insane.
Can you imagine this joker as president?
Remember, the republican establishment tried to dump this loser on us!
