Senator John McCain had harsh words for Great Britain Friday following that countrys decision to not participate in a coordinated attack on Syria.
Appearing on NBCs Tonight Show, McCain said, I feel badly about the British. They're our dear friends, but they're no longer a world power. It's just a fact of life.
Then why is Britain continuously called our "strongest ally" in numerous articles by numerous outlets?
Why did 0bammy seek Britain as a formidable ally in his tried-but-failed coalition against Syria?
These NWO windbags are a complete embarrassment.
don't you think that this is just a wee bit childish??
HEY.....WATCH IT THERE
I would agree with John McCain. The once mighty british empire has become a joke, and David Cameron legalizing gay "marriage" there is just the final nail in the coffin. Like much of western Europe, Muslims are taking over and the UK as we know it is dying. The fact they got it right on Syria doesn't change that fact.
you're, at best, PATHETIC!!
Do De-Do De-Do De-Do-Do (whistling..)
I cant stand him politically, but lets not denigrate the mans service to his country, please.

Sorry AB, but many of us no longer feel the obligation to preface every damn comment about this guy with the tired and worn out: “I respect his military service...blah...blah blah...”
F*ck McCain's military service! This A$$hole made law to take way other American’s rights to free speech! Remember McCain-Feingold? He's also helping to destroy this nation with his stand on amnesty!
This POS is helping to destroy our nation! You want to praise his service, you go right ahead. Many of us no longer feel the obligation.
Their nominal GDP is #6 in the world behind the US, China, Japan, Germany, and maybe Brazil. That’s pretty strong.
They are a great world power. They have acted responsibly while France can only think about oil.
The U.S. the only true world power but the UK is in the second tier which is nothing to be ashamed of for a tiny island. I would put them there with China, Japan, Russia and Germany, and the UK has the highest quality military of that bunch.
Yes, he’s right but for the wrong reasons. It can be argued that Britain hasn’t been a world power since the end of WWII. McLame thinks they aren’t because they disagreed with him. He’s competing with Obama for most pompous ass.
That’s what the Argies thought in 1982......Surprise.
The bulldog is only sleeping.......I still don’t think it would be wise to wake him up.
The UK did push the U.S. Government to retaliate against Assad in Syria before ducking out.
Along with Pakistan and India.
They are not a world power because the Marxists took over the nation. Something that is happening to us.
It's been a LONG time since he's disagreed with the democrats.
In 2008, he went full retard in defending Obama.
Just the thing that a Presidential candidate needs to do, PRAISE his opponent, and insult his supporters.
He's lucky he got 40% of the vote.
McCain is also obviously not 100% in his mental faculties. He rambles on and on from the mouth and what comes out of it is just frightening. And this is a guy with some political power? G-d help us!
But that NEVER happened. My First comment was #3, and someone replied BACK to me in #10 that McCain was brainwashed in Vietnam while a POW. THEN I made the REPLY you are commenting on. And then everyone is on my case about it, saying they all respected McCain service (but obviously some do not, as to the comments about him being a traitor while POW, et cetera...)
Anyway, my original statement in # 3 was --> John McCain, no longer a Conservative (if he ever was)!
So I will not join those calling him a brainwashed traitor during his imprisonment in North Vietnam. IMHO, he became a traitor after that, when he became Senator, and his ego mushroomed into something evil.
There are ALWAYS exceptions to every ‘broad-based’ statement... :-)
John McCain just another Free Trader Communist Globalist...they all support the World instead of America.
