Sen. John McCain to Leno: Britain ‘No Longer a World Power’



VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/sen-john-mccain-to-leno-britain-no-longer-a-world-power/


Appearing on the Tonight Show Friday night, Arizona Senator John McCain lamented the decline in Great Britain’s geopolitical muscle, especially given what he called the neutrality of the United Nations in response to chemical weapon attacks in Syria. “I feel badly about the British,” he told host Jay Leno. “They’re our dear friends, but they’re no longer a world power. It’s just a fact of life.”

And that's the "real reason" for the push to "do something" regarding Syrian. Otherwise, the world will see we have less MoJo than before and we'll going to "lose prestige" in the world.
