McCain to parry Putin N.Y. Times op-ed with one for Pravda
Reuters ^ | September 13, 2013

(Reuters) - U.S. Senator John McCain will submit an opinion piece to the Russian newspaper Pravda in response to an op-ed on Syria in The New York Times by Russian President Vladimir Putin that infuriated many members of Congress, a spokesman said on Friday.

"Senator McCain is glad to take them up on the offer and will submit a piece," said Brian Rogers, a spokesman for the senior Republican senator, one of the leading congressional voices on international affairs.

The announcement came a day after the venerable U.S. newspaper published a Putin commentary in which the Russian leader painted himself as a peacemaker and lectured Washington for what he called a tendency to use "brute force" in international politics.

Oh good heavens. How about Rand Paul instead of McCain? You know - an actual freedom-loving American.

McCain wants to be heard from?....that’s new (rolling eyes). If you based it on media coverage, one would think that we have only 4-5 Senators in the Senate.

McCain has just been censured royally by the State Republican party for his actions in cooperating with Reid to get Obama's nominations through Senate confirmation hearing. FINALLY!!!

Now if we can only get to Flake too.

Just how is McLame going to “parry” Putin? Complement his op ed, perhaps, or drool on a foreign page maybe.

Perhaps the old fool will have his say, get the usual plaudits from the doting MSM, and then take a nap. He could have tea with Putin and Snowden too as long as he remains ignored and does not somehow lead the US into a disastrous war.

“Who’s going to ghost write it for him?”

The State Department?? ;)

O’Bagy worked for ISW, founded by Kimberly Kagan.

Kagan’s brother is McCain adviser, Robert Kagan.

Who is Robert married to? Victoria Nuland, former spokesperson for the United States Department of State. (She was nominated to serve as Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs in May 2013.)

“Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham were vocal critics of the administration’s messaging after the Benghazi attacks, but on Friday, they issued a laudatory statement about Victoria Nuland”
