McCain Opposes Senate Resolution on Syria


WASHINGTON September 4, 2013 (AP)

Sen. John McCain says he doesn't support the latest Senate resolution to authorize military force against Syria.

McCain is an outspoken advocate of intervention against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime and wants more than cruise missile strikes and other limited action.

The Arizona Republican threatened earlier this week to vote against a White House draft resolution unless President Barack Obama promised greater support to Syria's rebels. McCain then expressed support after meeting Obama at the White House.

He now opposes a resolution crafted by Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey and Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee. It puts a 90-day limit on action and says no American troops can be sent into Syria.

Asked if he supported it, McCain said, "In its current form, I do not."

1. Warmonger.

2. Getting all in with pocket Aces and losing puts one in a foul mood...

Also, any poker buff can tell you that in poker lingo, Aces are also known as "rockets"

3. Seriously, cause that was what I predicted yesterday when many DU'ers spilled hate for Obama

reaching out to him.

Or maybe you are being sarcastic.

8. not one bit.

4. Enough of this pain in the ass.

McLumpy's answer to every trouble spot is to invade.

He should find a nice retirement home where he can play
his poker games all day long.

5. Does he even know what's in the resolution?

Maybe he's irked because it doesn't involve playing video poker all day.

6. Yep, right in line with the neocons.

They are against Obama's proposal because it's too limited. They want an all out attack to remove the Assad regime.

[woo me with science]

7. We are in the back seat of a car being driven by psychopaths.

9. The Senate doesn't need McCain's vote

If they are going to pass something, it should be the tightest possible restrictions, requiring Obama to come back to Congress if he has even the slightest thoughts of escalation.

It would be a very good litmus test that McCain NOT be able to vote fr what passes the Congress.

Let's get this behind us and get back to the real issue which is the out-of-control Security Industrial Complex. (And of course, it is McCain's service to the S-I-C that drives every vile word that comes out of his mouth.)
