McCain Exonerates ISIS From Civilian Deaths in Syria, Hopes Trump Gets Sucked in by D.C. Establishment

Crazy McCain is at it again.

During yesterday’s circle jerk with Schmuck Todd, John McCain lamented over the N. Korean leader, saying he ‘this guy in N. Korea is not rational.’
As usual, McCain hopes Trump will do something about it — such as starting a gigantic war.

Back on the Syrian front, McCain incredulously exonerated ISIS and other terrorist organizations for civilian deaths in the country — saying ‘of those 400,00 men, women, and children that have been slaughtered, they weren’t slaughtered by ISIS. They were slaughtered by Bashar Assad.’

And just like that, McCain has made ISIS the good guys.

On the issue of DC politics, Schmuck Todd asked if Trump had been ‘sucked in’ by the establishment.

McCain answered the only way he knew how, like a total asshat.

“I hope so [awkward laughter]. On national security, I do believe he has assembled a strong team and I think, very appropriately, he is listening to them.”

      I used to know someone who swore McCain got shot down on purpose to get famous.

        Well, the way he’s rode the war hero horse for the last 30 years would lend credence to that claim.

    APR 17….Making good on his campaign promises to rev up infrastructure spending, President Trump ignored bitter opposition from environmental activists and signed executive order to smooth the way for Energy Transfer Partners L.P.’s (ETP – Free Report) $3.7 billion Dakota Access Pipeline just a few days into his new Administration. The sponsor has already confirmed that it has finished construction of the controversial conduit and is now filling the line with crude to facilitate a mid-Apr startup.  

    Market players believe that once online, the pipeline will help in bettering the region’s drilling economics by lowering transportation costs for operators. Set to carry about 500,000 barrels of oil daily, or more than 50% of North Dakota’s output, the impending commencement of the Dakota Access Pipeline will help to bridge the gap between Bakken players and producers in other U.S. oil producing areas like the Williston and Permian basins.

    McCain is basically correct. Despite the bizarro propaganda beliefs of so many on this site, Assad has murdered tons more people in Syria, than ISIS ever has. It’s very clear that this is the case. But I guess if you have to exonerate Putin, and thus Putins’s buddy Assad, you deny obvious realities in order to do so, just as like all the Russian propaganda sites you folks quote do.

    Of course when the U.S. takes out a butcher like Saddam or Assad, we tend to make things worse, not better. So there is no reason to do that. But even so, that doesn’t change who Assad is and what he has done.

      No, McCain is not correct. The war wasn’t initiated by Syrian govt, but ISIS and Al Ansar. They are responsible for countless civilian casualties. By placing all the blame on Assad, you’re a useful idiot — supporter of ISIS.

      slimy toad, you are still stunningly ill-informed and all to proud to show your ignorance to all and sundry. Here’s a clue for you. Let’s see what you can make of it.

      https://wearechange.org/cia-crest-documents-reveal-plans-to-oust-syrian-president-assad-destroy-syria-for-oil-pipeline/

      A recent release of documents in the CIA’s cache — codenamed Crest — totalling up to 13 million documents reveal the CIA’s plans to oust the Syrian President, Hafez al-Assad.

      The documents date back to the years through 1984-1986 and purport to reveal plans to strengthen resistance against the former President Assad within Syria.

      The document also contains numerous hypotheticals, mostly surrounding what Moscow’s response would be if the government of Syria collapsed.

      As the war drums beat in the Trump administration and media for war with Syria, these two internal once-secret documents offer rare insight into how the U.S. arrived at the situation in present day Syria. They also reveal the CIA’s ongoing effort of regime change, exposing potential tactics being used to overthrow the current younger Syrian president.

    If nothing else, McCain is not a flip-flopper and consistently delivers the same message..war is good, more war is better.
