He was cheerleading for this same crap in Libya as well.
As far as I’m concerned, he is just as guilty as Obama, Clinton, Rice and the rest of them for Benghazi.

The fact that he was so for it and now says, “ not in the present form” should scare everyone
No telling what he wants put in the resolution to vote for it

Arizona had its chance to flush this turd. Sure, Hayworth had his own weaknesses, but he would have been better than McQueeg.

By doing this, Obama can have it changed, and both of them come out looking better to the beltway and the rubes.

McCain said the limited actions that would be authorized by the resolution dont go far enough in responding to Syrian leader Bashar Assads alleged use of chemical weapons last month.Not that he's seen the light. He wants even more intervention.
Violating Colin Powell's "Pottery Barn" rule, Obama has yet to fix the mess he left behind in Libya and Egypt. To say nothing of Iraq. (I suppose Powell's rule doesn't apply to Presidents of the same color.)

RE :
In its current form, I do not, McCain said Wednesday when asked if he supports the measure, the Associated Press reports.
McCain had previously said it would be catastrophic for Congress to turn down Obamas request. While Obama won the support of House GOP leaders on Tuesday, McCains opposition could make it harder to bring other Republican foreign policy hawks aboard. On the flip side, it may make it easier for Obama to win support from war-weary Democrats.” McCain wants either another Iraq or another Libya. He is demanding that Obama do regime change, obviously after bombing Libya was a great success in his eyes as was Iraq. Another McCain idea (Libya) ,
Tossing a few cruise missiles as Dems want to do isnt enough and he's scared a resolution could bind Obama later. (what if one fails?? Obama can still do what he wants)

No one has considered that Syria’s Air Defense systems were supplied by Russia, and probably manned by Russians. What will happen when we start killing Russians??

I hope someone rises up to challenge McCain here in AZ - I worked phone lines a couple of times for JD Hayworth when he tried to run against McCain and boy let me tell you that he disgusts me in every way. I honestly believe that whoever runs against him in 2016 will have the best shot ever. I will work VERY HARD for WHOMEVER runs AGAINST THIS TRAITOR! I despise John McCain! I would rather see a democrat take this seat than a Republican turned Democrat as I am firmly convinced MCCAIN really IS!

Rebuffing Obama, McCain a No-Vote on Syria
Sen. John McCain pulled his support Wednesday for the Senate resolution authorizing limited strikes in Syria, a blow to President Barack Obamas campaign to get congressional approval for military action in the war-torn country.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
I question whether this is a blow and a rebuff to Obama. This may be more of the good cop/bad cop routine that Obama and McCain have been carrying on for weeks.

I got McCain’s number long ago.
Here’s how a phony conservative preserves his “conservative rating”.
If a measure is clearly going to pass, he votes with the conservatives. If a measure clearly is not going to pass, he votes with the conservatives. If his vote is needed, though, then he votes with the Democrats and concocts some phony conservative-sounding reason for doing so.
He will always sound like he is on your side and he will always stab you in the back when you most need him.

Plus he was the nominee two years earlier which helped him too.
But his Robin : Grahamnesty is up next year, successfully take out Grahmnesty and it will hurt McCain.
