Let's hope some agreement can be reached ! The USA doesn't really seem interested in anything but it's interests. If you're in their way then it's over red rover!!! When is enough enough!!!

He's a total nut. I seriously wonder if his brain was permanently scrambled after he got himself shot in Vietnam.

He's a terrorist groupie now. He got treated real special by some jihadists and became their best friend in his twilight years. Maverick indeed.

She's from there and her family is there. She has a cousin that was killed 10 days ago.

McCain "I too have been to Syria. I too know the people that are fighting there."

How can you compare visiting the fighters versus having your family there?

The audacity.

What an ass.

But Grumpy's body language and his despicable "I know who the people that are fighting are , I've met with them..." shows he really doesn't give a shit what she or any other constituents think!

He's a loathesome ass.

America needs a hero. Tonight Jon Stewart was surprised to find that John McCain has ended up being that hero, for his recent surprise trip to Syria, showing an action video with McCain’s face edited in to really sell it. After poking fun at Anderson Cooper for his comment on different “flavors” of Syrian rebels, Stewart took McCain to task for just knowing in his gut who the Syrian rebels “on our side” are, when it turns out that McCain posed for a photo with rebels involved in a high-profile kidnapping case.

Stewart first couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at McCain’s remark that he’ll “die sometime, but it’s gonna be in bed.” Stewart added, “Maybe with a surge of Malaysian white tiger heroin.” But regarding McCain’s innate ability to tell the good guys from the bad guys, it turns out that McCain had a photo op with two men who were involved in a kidnapping. Stewart said, “Oh my God, John McCain is literally palling around with terrorists!”

And in reaction to a McCain spokesman saying none of the rebels identified themselves as the individuals involved in the kidnappings, Stewart said that’s “kind of the point,” that “not everyone is going to be wearing their HELLO I’M A TERRORIST name badge.”

Stewart concluded that clearly McCain was the unfortunate “victim of a terrorist photobombing.”

"No one identified themselves as a terrorist"???

That's priceless BS!

Where was his security detail?

Wouldn't they know who was around, especially if

a terrorist was in their site?

I do not believe that spin for a second!

10. Confront Them Whenever they Are Out in Public

These animals who want war so badly need to be confronted whenever they appear in public. Whenever anyone in the public sphere,at the supermarket, at church or out there starts banging those war drums, call them on it! They view people as ants to be squashed.
We haven't had a war on US soil so people here get very comfortable about viewing other countries as another video game to be played.
Notice the sports analogies when they talk about a war's "game plan". Call them on it. This is deeply immoral.
