U.S. Senator John McCain says now that NATO military intervention in Libya is ending, military action to protect civilians in Syria might be considered.

... Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Jordan Sunday, the Republican senator said like Libya's Moammar Gadhafi, Syrian President Bashar Assad is committing "mass murder" against his people and warned he will not get away with it. McCain said the Assad regime has "spilled too much blood" and its days are numbered.

1. And the missiles rain down on Istanbul, Beirut, or Tel Aviv

that would be positive how?

Syria is NOT Libya.

[roguevalley]

19. this is the man who voted for Iraq so his son could have 'his war'

just like grandpa and dad. I agree with him. Drop him over Syria with a shotgun. Problem solved.

[JCMach1]

23. Exactly, I hear they need some 'Community Organizers' in Homs...

maybe he would like to drop in!

[Firebrand Gary]

2. Silly Senator McCain, what about Iran?

And the song?

[PatSeg]

3. Dangerous old man

He needs to retire and go home.

[opihimoimoi]

4. Yup...and STFU

[BumRushDaShow]

5. And in other news

[Yon_Yonson]

6. War Monger McCain

[CRK7376]

37. BOMB! BOMB! BOMB!

jackass McCain

[No Elephants]

7. Sit down and shut up.

[tcaudilllg]

8. McCain seriously plays the brutal tyrant at home, doesn't he?

[Crowman1979]

9. Its always been the a-holes that have never been in ground combat who've demaded more war.

His perspective would have been a lot different had he been on the jungle ground with a pistol, instead of 20,000 ft. with a stick and a bunch of buttons.

[former9thward]

30. What a dumb post.

I want us out of all of these wars as much as anyone but to say someone who spent five years in a jungle cage doesn't have the right to speak is way over the top. Unless you think he made it up.

[PavePusher]

34. Are you high?

Or just terminally stupid?

Either way, ignorance like yours does nothing to help our side.

[Happyhippychick]

10. Someone go on his lawn so he has something else to rant about

[AlbertCat]

13. He has so many lawns... how could you avoid going on one?

[nineteen50]

11. Can anyone say

Project for the New American Century. There are still a few
wars left in that plan. Is this one?

[AlbertCat]

12. McCain... Bolton... Buchanan

All three of these has-been losers have been interviewed... all serious like... recently.

Who cares what any of them think?

Are they interviewing Edwards? Carter? Kucinich?

Why do geriatric, irrelevant Repugs always get asked what they think, when what they thought when they were relevant didn't even matter?

[jakeXT]

15. All I read is about an alleged Syrian spy

U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich denies knowing man accused of being a Syrian spy

[karynnj]

35. Why - because the Democratic side is represented by Obama, Hillary Clinton and others in the

administration. Neither Kucinich or Edwards ever were experts on the war - or even were favored by most Democrats. Carter likely can get on any show he wants - as can former President Clinton - and likely a few other Democrats (here I would include Kerry and Levin, who chairs Armed Services. )

For the Republicans, expect the Presidential candidates and top Senators - McCain is the ranking member of Armed Services. (Lugar, ranking member of SFRC, likely can get on when he wants to as well.)

[joshcryer]

14. Senile.

[Botany]

16. Go and join the civilians in the streets John.

Fly to Lebanon or Turkey and then sneak across the border and got to Damascus and help lead
the fight yourself Senator.



After all you are an expert on who to back in the Mideast.

[UTUSN]

17. So he's volunteering to crash a plane over Damascus?!1 Crashing'em has always worked for him. n/t

[Historic NY]

18. Wasn't he having late night sessions....with Moammar

20. Romney has 5 sons available for the military invasion nt

[louis-t]

21. If a repug is elected in 2012, we will have another war

in 2013. I promise.

[dudkos]

22. Go home, you old fool

Better yet, go into a home!

[jpak]

24. Hey McCain - ya lost

[totodeinhere]

25. Mark my words. It will be only a matter of time before we intervene in Syria. n/t

[daleo]

31. I believe you. n/t

[benld74]

26. Cindy McCain! Your hubby is OFF his meds again. He can be found in Jordan. Please come get him!

[razorman]

27. It is not our damned business. We need to stop sticking our nose where it doesn't belong.

Not all our busybody actions will end with as little risk on our part as Libya. We are not the world's police.

[jaysunb]

28. Dear John

YOU LOST THE FUCKING ELECTION ! STFU ! :evilfrown:

[alp227]

29. I was thinking about a 2008 election reference too! nt

[unkachuck]

32. Moammars' body....

....is not even cold and Gramp's looking for fresh meat....war-mongering pukes are definitely consistent beasts....although, some might say that ridding the world of that piece of Syrian meat wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea....

....but Gramps, we don't deserve to have so much fun, nor can we afford it....maybe if you got your corporate buddies to dig deep to pick up the tab, Obama would think about it....

[classysassy]

33. The twits in Arizona

re-elected that nitwit.

[dmosh42]

36. What about the JOBS program, dumbwit?
