Sen. John McCain on Thursday unveiled a plan to increase U.S. air and ground forces in Afghanistan that would probably bring some American soldiers closer into harm’s way — a move that in effect rebukes President Trump, who has not yet decided on his preferred way forward in the war.
McCain (R-Ariz.) promised to present his plan as an amendment to the annual defense authorization bill, upon his return to Washington in September.

The war had gone on for many years in Afghanistan while obama was still president. Yet there was no pressure my mccain to end it.
Can they not go ahead and bury this POS clown?
McCain’s Chairmanship should be stripped from him by Leader Mitch McConnell for his disobedience on the heath care vote wherein McCain proved himself a liar.
The same goes for Murkowski.
McCain is particularly odious because he apparently thinks he’s more qualified to be president than the president but, thank God, ( NOT Vlad Putin) the American people elected Donald Trump!
Furthermore, despite his brain cancer, even McCain knows that President Trump currently has The very best military minds working on a plan to defeat Isis, the Taliban and all radical Islamic groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan! Nobody likes to win more than President Trump! Nobody hates to lose troops more than President Trump !
John McCain needs to either totally support President Trump or shut up and mind his own business he’s a jealous old fool
Sorry McSWINE; we don’t listen to people who host a BRAIN MAGGOT.
Hey John.
You lost.
You didnt even put up a half-assed fight.
So F-off and die already.
Well, we all know how great all of McCain’s foreign policy ideas have been over the decades... Oh, Wait a minute.
“Sen. John McCain on Thursday unveiled a plan...”
He needs to plan his funeral service.
We should air drop McCain into Afghanistan.
Better still - send John to the VA for treatment and putt of Congress and their staffs on Obamacare
we rejected him years ago, now McCained should feel it and go,
Given how we continue to have John McCain doing what he is doing, I guess we should consider ourselves lucky that Hillary Clinton did not stay in the Senate. Imagine that chorus in stereo....
The idiot was at the Diamondbacks game tonight. I doubt if he even has cancer. He just needed his hero’s return to the Senate and to have one more layer of armor in his fight against our President.
“Heroes” have a shelf life. The son-of-a-bitch is no good.
Don’t really see him returning to Washington in September or any time for that matter.
Yep - and then Mr.
Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran - Fight fight fight, fight in Afghanistan..."
calls Trump too hawkish on the NORKs.
He's been mentally ill for a long time - can't blame it on the tumor.
Failing that, give him a copy of the Constitution so he can find out who is the actual Commander-in-Chief of the military.
I’m sure it is coincidence that McMaster and McCain are pushing the same “surge” plan.
North Korea acts up as a lure to protect Iran and once did the same for Saddam’s Iraq, as did the Palestinians. It’s been like that since the 1980s- a theatrical presentation, in a similar way to the dramatic broken wing act a mother Killdeer uses to draw predators away from her chicks. If it looks like the US and Israel are going to get tough on Iran, it’s a given that the Norks will act up, in order to draw resources away from their ally.
Used to be, N Korea was always joined by one of the West African dictatorships, too, which always resulted in us having to assign a ship or ships to evacuate American tourists and diplomats.
McCain hasn’t had a real thought in decades
Oh, I’m sorry, Senator McCain, I’ve been under the impression that DONALD TRUMP is Commander-In-Chief. You, OTOH, are a brain-damaged loser traitor who needs to leave this world with a wimper. Please... just STFU and disappear. You continue to do your best to take down the USA.
Given McCain’s history of failures, if he said turn “this way” I’d turn the other way.
