McCain scolds White House for 'crazy' leaks on Syria air strikes By Lara Seligman - 08/28/13 09:18 AM ET
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Wednesday expressed outrage over leaks related to possible air strikes on Syria, calling them “crazy.”
McCain pointed to reports that say U.S. air strikes on Syria could begin as early as Friday.
The Republican senator, who has long called for more aggressive U.S. action against Syria, said the leaks are tipping the U.S. hand.
“But all of these leaks, when strikes are going to take place, where, what’s going to be used, if I were Bashar Assad, I think I would declare tomorrow a snow day and keep everything from work,” McCain said on Fox News. “This is crazy. These leaks are just crazy.”
McCain reiterated his long-standing criticism of President Obama’s Syrian policy, saying Assad was encouraged to do more chemical attacks when the U.S. failed to punish him for initial attacks.
He also said Obama’s policies have been inconsistent in that the goal of pending attacks would not be regime change even though Obama has said he wants Assad out of power.
“This is the same president that two years ago said that Bashar Assad must leave office and so where is America’s credibility? Where is our ability to influence events in the region?” McCain said on “Fox and Friends.” “What is the president’s policy?”
The White House said Tuesday that Obama is not seeking “regime change” in Syria, instead weighing a response to the violation of “an international standard” barring the use of chemical weapons.
McCain also slammed Obama’s policy toward Syria on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“Isn’t it contradictory that [Obama] said [Assad[ must go and now he is saying this isn’t aimed at regime change?” McCain said on Wednesday. “And if it isn’t aimed at regime change what is it named at?”
McDork calling someone “crazy”.
Bwahahahahahahahaha——snort ——cough........
You know how community organizers love to get the word out...
Juan is an expert on crazy.
Maybe the most positive thing to come out of all this will be that McCain will finally blow all those blood vessels in his head and we’ll be rid of him.
Oh ‘F’ you McCain!
Good grief, does anybody doubt this A-hole will be out next week praising Obama and the Dems for something.
This man is a media whore...nothing else.
Barry will get tired of McCain and do him in someday.
McAinal, just shut up and get back in bed with your Muslim Brotherhood buddies, who are black mailing you or paying you to carry their political water re Syria.
Sen. John McCain (D-R Washington DC.)
There that fixes it, at least one line.
If McCain had his way we would have 150,000 troops in Iraq and 150,000 in Afghanistan, 75,000 in Libya, and 50,000 on standby to go to egypt.
It’s like one crazy man trying to understand another crazy man.
Clueless Obama Administration is still Clueless
To make more room for the Muslim Brotherhood.
He has a real "bromance" with the Brotherhood.
He's the brother of another mother regarding the M. Brotherhood.
The proof continues to emerge that mclame was tortured too much to the point that his brain atrophied. mclame...a certified nut-case.
Obama has been gutting the military for some time.
Does America even have 425,000, plus/minus, troops to spare?
Frankly, I have high expectations of Obama’s strategic military prowess. I’d put him at the “Bill Clinton aspirin factory” level. Barack will decimate Assad the way Clinton utterly destroyed al Qaeda.
MaCain should have had the dignity to retire a long time ago.
mcdickhead knows crazy up close and personal.
Yeah, butt Obama reveal when they would get back from Macho Grande. That’s classified.
