If McCain spent as much time solving problems HERE in America as he does worrying about the affairs of other nations we would be much better off. This old codger has lost his marbles. It is time he retire.

Probably easier to get things done overseas than at home given the current state of our government.

No. No. No.

Assad will last as long as he has Hezbollah boots and Iranian RG support and financial assistance.

Now if you could provide covert assistance in terms of ammo and light weapons to Rebel Units that engage the Iranians and Hezbollah, go for it. More dead Shias is great.

But none of this no-fly zone garbage.

Can't argue with that thought. IF anything gets cooking over there...let Gen. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=gen+...&FORM=IGRE take charge. NO ONE ELSE. For that matter , let him finish the mess in Afghanistan.

When did we adopt Syria?
Never knew that.

McCain needs to retire.
