WASHINGTON Senator John McCains office is pushing back against reports that while visiting Syria this week he posed in a photo with rebels who kidnapped 11 Lebanese Shiite pilgrims.
The photo, released by McCains office, shows McCain with a group of rebels. Among them are two men identified in the Lebanese press as Mohamed Nour and Abu Ibrahim, two of the kidnappers of the group from Lebanon.

you forgot Mitt
John doesn’t realize a whole lot of things.
Whenever the headline says “McPain didn’t realize”, you know the article might be true. It could also say “People in AZ did not realize” and be on target.
Yes, you’re right. Several people mentioned it, so I reposted here:

Thanks for the mention. Can’t believe I left him out.
In terms of his cluelessness on that part of the earth, he;s not that different from 90 % or so of the Republican establishment. On these issues, frankly, McCain doesn’t exactly stick out like a sore thumb amongst Republicans and too many self styled conservatives.
Trying to Westernize and liberate these places the way we’ve been doing as proven slightly less effective than the war on poverty.
Jane Fonda should have used that excuse. Would have saved her a bunch of grief....lol. /sarc.
That’s all true. And the sad thing is, despite having the White House 60% of the time, consider whether we went Left or Right overall. It’s an utter damnation of the Republican party what they did with their opportunities.
In particular, when we had the presidency and the majority in the Senate and House, we were not only utter failures, we still helped the Left implement it’s policies.
I’m guessing there’s a LOT of things John McCain doesn’t realize he’s doing.
Navigator: Sir, if the rate of loss does not increase, we have a chance to reach target 384, grid coordinate 003 691, and possibly make it from there to the Tango Delta weather ship.
Major Kong: What kind of a target is that, anyhow?
Bombardier: Sir, that's the ICBM complex at Kotloss.
I don’t know.
I have no problem whatsoever believing McCain doesn’t know where he is or who he’s talking to at any given time.

Scooter100, I wasn’t sure even as I was typing that.
I appreciate the correction.
Thank you.
