All the Countries John McCain has wanted to attack

[n2doc]

—By Tim Murphy and Tasneem Raja


Even before he was caught playing poker on his iPhone at a Senate hearing on Wednesday, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had already sent a message: Anything less than an extensive aerial assault on the Syrian regime by American forces would be an unacceptable approach to the conflict in the Middle East. This was hardly surprising. Over the last two decades, McCain has rarely missed an opportunity to call for the escalation of an international conflict. Since the mid-1990s, he's pushed for regime change in more than a half a dozen countries—occasionally with disastrous consequences.

Here's a quick review of McCain's eagerness for military action and foreign entanglements.

SYRIA

Fighting words: "Providing military assistance to the Free Syrian Army and other opposition groups is necessary, but at this late hour, that alone will not be sufficient to stop the slaughter and save innocent lives. The only realistic way to do so is with foreign air power."

What he wanted: Airstrikes, culminating in regime change.

What was it good for? TBD.

Angry McCains: Five.

1. McCain is either well paid by the military industrial complex or a war loving lunatic

2. McCain needs to remember his stay at the Hanoi Hilton before he gets so eager.

4. Especially since his military service was as a failed pilot

and mostly as a prisoner.. then as a kept-man with a cushy DC job and then into the congress..

His early years were courtesy of his high ranking Daddy
