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...

McCain to Trump: Airstrikes alone won't achieve objectives in Syria

Because McCain's objective is to detroy Trump, destroy America and replace it with a socialist tyranny and ensure that the child sex slave trade continues undisrupted.

Maybe you should have voted with Trump to take down ObamaCare so he might actually listen to you, Judas. You’ve proven yourself to be a backstabber so why should your words lend any weight with the POTUS? Ever thought about that, Mr. Maverick?

It depends on what your objective is. If your objective is to send a message to Assad not to use chemicals weapons it is enough.

Why don’t you give use YOUR strategic objectives, Juan? I always thought that King Barak I got us involved in the Syrian free-for-all precisely to give you a chance to do your General Patton impression.

Good, then we'll just have to air drop McManiac into Syria hospital bed and all along with all of his "Rambo weapons". So that he can wage his own private ground campaign and single handedly take down Assad and the entire Syrian army.

Me thinks that the brain cancer has addled his mind.

Given the fact that McManiac hasn't been seen in public since December 2017; we demand "proof of life".

Who knows if the guy is even alive, in a coma or in a "vegetative state". Who even cares what McManiac purportedly said. At this point literally anyone could be "making the senators 'statements' for him".

Why and how is this “supposedly” terminal Nam disgrace making any statements? Doesn’t add up IMO. Any doctors here to explain??

I was going to mention Iraq but we did seem to have a plan there. Not a good one but a plan nonetheless.

The comment really says: One can not stop a war with a slap in the face, you must change a culture. If you are not willing to change the culture then walk away. If you want to end the war then go all out and end the culture. Don’t use fatal military action. In a half a** manner.

McCain needs to maintain the Weekend at Bernie’s mode until May, 20th so his replacement doesn’t face election until 2020.

Juan, tell ya what. Just shut up and we will let you die instead of jailing you for treason. How about that?

So long as there is an Ace Hardware in Syria Assad’s military will be able to produce barrel bombs of chlorine gas.
