McCain, Thank God he is not the POTUS!!! Typical Repub just like War, Syria is not Libya it’s a very small country, you got Lebanon, Israel, Turkey, right there with a few miles we cant just bomb them!!!
In my opinion, Anderson made a huge omission by failing to ask McCain about the rebels. By fighting Assad, we would be taking the side of the rebels who, according to Obama and Clinton, are getting support from a number of our enemies. So, whose side would we be taking?
Maybe McCain wants another war for his lovely Halliburton company to place another bid on.
Just because we can does not equal a should on intervention. This is a policeman of the world philosophy that is overly simplistic, unsustainable and ineffective. If others are not willing to intervene for their brothers and sisters, the U.S. intervening would be short-term solution that fuels subsequent dissent.
McCain...lost all respect when out of your mouth came the "talking point Lead from behind" Dear God, credit is due when the President controlled everything that happened in Lybia. Shame on you Sen McCain. Please mention how Pres. Bush declared "Mission Accomplished" Dude, leading from ahead when you screw it up is shameful. Where were you
The good news coming out of Syria is no Amrican military personnel have been blown to pieces by IED's and no demonstrators have been seen stomping on our flag chanting "Death to America". Stay out of there!!
