mccain whines on tonight show, wants more, more, more war.

[spanone]

Senator John McCain (R-AZ) criticized President Barack Obama’s plans for limited air strikes on Syria as “cosmetic” Friday, saying the failure of the United States to intervene in the country’s civil war was “shameful.”

In an interview with The Tonight Show host Jay Leno, the veteran and former presidential hopeful repeated his call for Washington to arm Syria’s rebel Free Syrian Army in its fight against the regime of President Bashar Assad.

Asked by Leno what we he would do if here were president, McCain said: “I’d crater the runways, the six air fields that Bashar Assad uses. I’d prevent him from using his air power. I would get the weapons to the people who are fighting and dying as we speak, and I would probably get a safe zone… you could do that in one day and you would not put a single American in any danger because you could do it with standoff weapons.”

1. This from the most incompetent member the US Navy ever had.

How many people died because he was always promoted despite his gross incompetence?

That anyone gives any credibility to this man's opinions never fails to astound me. What has he ever done besides being born with a silver spoon in his mouth and crashing plains that makes him an expert on anything? Zilch.

5. It's likely he was promoted because he was a 'legacy' in the Navy,

more or less. His family has a long military history. I'm sure he was raised hearing a lot of talk about military campaigns and such; they probably didn't talk about much else besides war.

He knew he could have a political career because of his patriotic bona fides as a POW, and he's coasted along on that ever since. He thought the Presidency was owed to him, and he never got over losing, especially to Obama, for various reasons. He should have retired after he lost that election. At this point, he's more likely to make a fool of himself than anything else.

2. McInsane: " ..you could do that in one day.."

Thank goodness Sarah destroyed John's presidential aspirations.

3. Well its a good thing he isn't President.

I certainly hope Obama remembers why he was originally elected: opposing the Iraq war.

If we wanted to let McCain dictate foreign policy we would have elected him.

8. I admire your optimism. I don't share it, but I admire it.

4. Bomb bomb bomb bomb

anywhere and everywhere - that would make him happy.

6. "Bomb, bomb, bomb _______" is the only thing that McCain seems to know what to say

what to say about anything related to foreign policy.

Thank heavens that he did not win in 2008!
