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.”

They will do whatever is necessary for him to retain his seat and appear fully capable of responding....I understand why they do but they could at least make it sound like him...it doesn’t. He will not recover from the normal trajectory this disease he has takes.

McCain had a brief love affair with the Syrian “good rebels”.
They were good to McCain, and treated him with respect, and he really ate that up.

In reality, the Syrian “good rebels” are reputed to be Taliban like, and maybe even include some Taliban. They are not likely to be a reliable, good ally to the US.

Has anyone seen him recently? We don’t know if it is really him saying this stuff.


McCain makes Jeff Sessions seem alive and energetic.
