John McCain and his minions are worried about the five detainees from

Guantanamo who were released. The events in Iraq shows that there are bigger problems in the region: Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. Maybe John should suit up and join the forces that he wants to send back to war. Walk the talk, John, Lindsay, Saxby, and so many others.

He just see this release as the latest Benghazi style attack on the President.

If McCain had is way, we would have been dropping bombs and sending troops to Syria 3 years ago and he was very critical of "the President" when troops were withdrawn from Iraq.

McCain has two goals in the Senate: First and foremost is to criticize the President and block any of his legislation, Second it to push the agenda of the military industrial complex and for him that means perpetual war.

the President tried to get them to keep a certain level and it was rejected by Iraq. Please correct me if I am wrong.

of the release...
But I'd like to ask him: You were sure about weapons of mass destruction, the war would be
over quickly and that Iraq would be a model democracy for the Middle East.

What are you sure about again, boehner?
