McCain warns Syria, Iran in Scottsdale speech (more U.S. wars in Syria, Iran?)
KOLD-TV CBS 13 Tucson, Ariz. ^ | 2011-10

SCOTTSDALE, AZ (KOLD) - Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, on Sunday night warned Syria and Iran not to underestimate forces of change in the Islamic world.

McCain, speaking to the 2011 AIPAC Summit at the Scottsdale Princess Resort, said Syrian President Bashar Assad's crackdown on dissidents looks like ousted Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi's failed battle against rebels in the north African nation.

"This is increasingly the question about Syria," McCain said. "The Assad regime has spilled too much blood to stay in power. Its days are numbered, but it will use those days to murder more of its own people. In this way, there is no moral distinction whatsoever between the case of Syria and that of Libya.

"The Assad regime should not assume that it can get away indefinitely with mass murder. Gadhafi made that mistake, and it cost him everything," McCain said.

“Gadhafi made that mistake, and it cost him everything,” McCain said.”

Gadhafi had oil that the Italians and French wanted as well as a third rate miltary to protect it. I’m not aware of any resources in Syria that England, France or Italy wants. The Syrian forces are superior to what NATO beat up on in Libya.

McCain should confine his rants to his bathroom mirror.

McCain is not relevant. If he were, he would be President.

He is a bottom feeder living large off the taxpayer, and his wife.So whatever he thinks and says is crap. Since if he were ever a man, which I have my doubts, he forfeited his biology for the sake of his deranged ego.
