Does McCain think Trump will give Manpad's to so-called Syrian rebels if he clears up the legal hurdle for him?

He isn't thinking right, or desperate.

[Lazamataz]

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS, PRESIDENT TRUMP.

Nuclear war follows.

[DarthVader]

McCain is in denial that the globalist NWO foreign policy is now dead.

[nopardons]

McLame is an IDIOT!

I doubt that Trump wants to even do this and it most assuredly is NOT something high on his first 1p00 days "to do" list!

[dp0622]

He wouldn’t in a million years. His campaign was wholly based on being against this insanity.

Plus is it evil to wonder when mccain is going to drop?

He could have retired and lived a nice life. But he stayed even though he is insane at this point and hasn’t a clue as to what’s going on in the real world.

But he’s a Vet and former POW so I wish him the best.

[pepsionice]

If any of these idiots were that stupid, then on day one of the manpad release....we’d probably see two US fighters shot down.

McCain needs to be retired.

[SolidWood]

McPain is a total psychopath who wants to see the world burn.
Mercifully this ghoul was not elected President...though we had to endure Obama.

[Lazamataz]

Plus is it evil to wonder when mccain is going to drop?

I have never prayed for a melanoma before.

Until McCain.

[ari-freedom]

All for the best...mccain would have pushed us to war with russia

[Lazamataz]

Mercifully this ghoul was not elected President...though we had to endure Obama.

This is my feeling about McCain *AND* Romney.

[Enlightened1]

Rebels = ISIS, Al-Nusera and Al-Qaeda.

All the same group with the same black flag.

McCain = 100% Insane

McCain is in denial that the globalist NWO foreign policy is now dead.

They don't ever give up. They've been working on their NWO dream for generations and I'm sure they look on Trump's election as a bump in the road that they'll easily outlast. I don't know what they're planning to do next - but I do know they are busy making plans. It's what they do. We still have a LOT of hard work ahead of us.

[dadfly]

if true, then damn these gopes. what sane person puts missiles in the hands of islamic extremist belligerents? only a complete imbecile would do this.

[nopardons]

Hillary, Obama, Kerry were/are all for it.

[Pollster1]

The non-ISIS, non-Al_Qaeda “rebels” are the weakest side in Syria. We don’t get to watch them win this civil war any more than we get to watch the Minnesota Twins (59 wins, 103 losses) win this year’s World Series. Our choices are the brutal dictator (Assad), or the terrorists (either ISIS or Al Qaeda).

[xzins]

As Trump says, we don’t know who these people really are. Except Muslims who practice taqqiya about ecerything. No way I’d give manpads to them.

[dadfly]

and obama has two months left to implement ryan, mconnell and mccains’ lameduck lunacy. these people are all corrupt and beneath contempt.

[Candor7]

Syrian rebels?

You mean ISIS supporters?

Any arms sent to Syrian rebels end up on the arms black market the day after they are received.

Its an excellent way to spread MANPADS through out the middle east . They will be used to bring down commercial airliners.

Really a dopey idea.

[Garth Tater]

Our choices are the brutal dictator (Assad), or the terrorists (either ISIS or Al Qaeda).

That brutal dictator was elected in a free election monitored by international monitors. He did a pretty good job of taking care of all of his people AND getting them to live together peaceably before this war started.

The war is not about "the people" wanting to get rid of their brutal dictator - they would have had a chance to do that in their next election which will now have to wait until this war concludes. The war was brought on by the monied Arabs in the Gulf States trying to push their natural gas pipeline through Syria and into Europe.
