McCain to Trump: Airstrikes alone won't achieve objectives in Syria
The Hill ^ | 04/14/18 | Rebecca Kheel

“I applaud the president for taking military action against the Assad regime for its latest use of chemical weapons, and for signaling his resolve to do so again if these heinous attacks continue,” McCain said in a statement.

“To succeed in the long run, we need a comprehensive strategy for Syria and the entire region,” he added later. “The president needs to lay out our goals, not just with regard to ISIS, but also the ongoing conflict in Syria and malign Russian and Iranian influence in the region. Airstrikes disconnected from a broader strategy may be necessary, but they alone will not achieve U.S. objectives in the Middle East.”

Etc...

Right on cue.

Isn't it often said men who have seen war don't want to see war?

McCain is one of the few American service men who seem to want America to get involved in military operations.

Why is McCain always calling for military intervention in the Middle East?

Airstrikes disconnected from a broader strategy may be necessary, but they alone will not achieve U.S. objectives in the Middle East.”

Exactly what does McCain believe the US objectives in the Middle East are?

The destruction of the chemical weapons R&D facility and two chemical weapons storage facilities did in fact achieve the objective. There are no other foreseeable strike objectives.

Because McCain thinks he's gonna whip the Russians at a place called Little Big Horn.

That's the tumor talking.

That’s because he loves sacrificing American lives, just not his own. We have zero business in Syria. Zero business fighting against Russia.
Of course the folks want to put American men and women on the border because building a wall is too hard. Anyone who has been on armed patrol knows you become a target. With the drug and sex slave money, they will be tortured first.
As long as their son, daughters, wives and husbands aren’t going they love the blood sport of it all.

McCain is simply the senior member of the Sunni Muslim ruling party in Washington.

McCain wants to sacrifice as many American lives as possible.

McCain has never seen an interventionist war he didn’t like. My vote on Syria back when the communist was occupying our White House was that we should stay out. Now that we have a real American in charge, I still want to stay out.
