In a statement released this morning, Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham call for the U.S. to "take limited military actions in Syria."
“Recent reports and information from Syria lend additional credibility to what has been clear since last week: Assad and his forces have once again used chemical weapons against civilians in Syria and are, in fact, escalating their use. Their recent massacre of hundreds of men, women, and children around Damascus clearly constitutes the commission of a war crime, and it is the responsibility of civilized nations everywhere to ensure that those responsible are held accountable," the statement reads.
“Now is the time for decisive actions. The United States must rally our friends and allies to take limited military actions in Syria that can change the balance of power on the ground and create conditions for a negotiated end to the conflict and an end to Assad's rule. Using stand-off weapons, without boots on the ground, and at minimal risk to our men and women in uniform, we can significantly degrade Assad's air power and ballistic missile capabilities and help to establish and defend safe areas on the ground. In addition, we must begin a large-scale effort to train and equip moderate, vetted elements of the Syrian opposition with the game-changing weapons they need to shift the military balance against Assad's forces.

Back stabbers both of them.
Thank you for making the chaos so clear.

McCain and his butt boy can go to hell. I despise those two more than I can day!
I never thought this day would com, but I’m starting to appreciate the dislike for interloping, warmongering “neocons”.
Welcome to the club.
It’s time for Lindsey and Juan to lead the way. We’d have fewer wars if we sent old politicians in first to “spearhead” these wars. Let the young guys sit home on their @$$e$ writing the”rules of engagement” for them.
They are now moving the pieces (our troops) at will, into dangerous territory and no one is emerging to stop them.
This insane trio feeding off each other's ambitions and egos must be checkmated quickly or we'll be pushed into another quagmire...a quagmire which will consume our blood and treasure with again NO VICTORY....like Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan....NO VICTORIES !
We're being led by the nose into another adventurous military morass by a handful of unstable political psychopaths headquartered in D.C.

I never dreamed that I would some day post a phrase that the anti-Vietnam War hippies once chanted:
One, two, three, four!
We don't want your stinkin' war!
Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham call for the U.S. to “take limited military actions in Syria.”
McQueeg and his other half, Miz Linseed, can go to he!!
Just what the US needs — getting embroiled in yet another “limited military action” and putting our brave troops in harms way — again. Don’t these guys ever learn anything?? Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan..............
POS both of them......sold out to the banking cartel and the new world order.
What idiots. If your choose war you don't take "Limited Military Actions".
Have these guys ever heard of Patton?
At war with someone, you take FULL Military Action to defeat the enemy.
To go limited, you might as well put a target on every soldiers' back and then twist your fingers nervously around as you pee in your pants at watching MIA/KIA numbers soar.
Where are the GOP leaders challenging McCain and Graham on this issue? Or is the GOP the war monger party.
WTF? Start a war then come in, kill innocent US soldiers, then cry budget deficit? Evil, evil men!
McCain never met a war he didn’t like.
I have this vision that if McCain became President, I would see him saying....”Mr. Vice President....Mr. Secretary.....The missiles are flying.....Hallelujah!.........Hallelujah!”

HA! That was pretty good.
Kobayashi Maru
Show me where this is a vital U.S. interest then will
talk otherwise stay out of civil wars and mcinsane
and his wuss bag sidekick should know better.
We need a 10 million man march to surround the Pentagon, White House and Congress, and put a stop to adventures like this. The Israelis are more than capable of defending their interests in the area.
