Sen. John McCain says that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump doesn't understand the problems posed by Russia's new role in the Syrian conflict.
"I don't think he understands very well the situation. And he's entitled to his opinion," the Arizona Republican said Sunday in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
McCain was pushing back against Trump's assertion last week that the United States should let ISIS and Syria's army fight -- and let Russia worry about ISIS there. Trump's comment came as Russia launched air strikes in the region.
"Do we want to keep slaughtering people in Syria that are fighting for freedom?" McCain said.

Hey John, if they’re fighting for freedom, why are they deserting their country?
People who love their country will fight and die for it.
This is a load of horsesh*t but exactly what we’ve come to expect from McInsane every time he opens his stupid mouth.

Perhaps Juan, but NOBODY does, not even Syrians. But you Juan, understand NOTHING. By the way, how is Linda’s campaign doing? Heard a rumor she is running for President.

In my mind, this pic should forcw his immediate resignation. Unfortunately his lack of shame precludes this outcome.

The only possible, legitimate fighters for freedom in Syria are non-Muslim (mostly Christian), and I trust Trump to look out for them better than I do McCain.
To: Attention Surplus Disorder
I dont have a high degree of confidence that McCain has much understanding of how to tie his shoes. Senile dementia is very dangerous when it resides in a so-called spokesperson for your government.

"Do we want to keep slaughtering people in Syria that are fighting for freedom?" McCain said. Fighting for freedom? Who? Where? Maybe fighting to free themselves from one dictator to replace him with another.
To: DoodleDawg
Yeah, you know, those brave freedom fighters in Syria. Right.

The louder McCain gets, the more you know the Saudis are squeezing some glands in DC. Munitions
money... blue-eyed, infidel soldiers
"Ace" brokers 'em all.
