McCain Didn’t Realize He Was Posing With Rebel Kidnapper, Spokesman Says

“Regrettable” if true, McCain spokesman says.

WASHINGTON — Senator John McCain’s office is pushing back against reports that while visiting Syria this week he posed in a photo with rebels who kidnapped 11 Lebanese Shi’ite pilgrims.

The photo, released by McCain’s office, shows McCain with a group of rebels. Among them are two men identified in the Lebanese press as Mohamed Nour and Abu Ibrahim, two of the kidnappers of the group from Lebanon.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG made my morning. What a tool.

[damiengwa]

Wow, its almost like the US government is meeting with and supporting terrorists with links to Al-Quaida...

Where's that video of Brezhnev meeting with the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan? They also worked with and recruited Al-Quaida. Its like history is coming full circle. Its like that episode of star trek when they are caught in the time loop, and they keep repeatedly doing the same things but can't quite remember, like playing the same hands of poker and what not. They can't remember the mistakes they've made in the last loop, and at the end some disaster destroys the enterprise, only to have it go over and over again.

But they were on the CIA' list of pre-approved allies and possess permanent American visas. See, this is exactly why Americans have zero business mingling and affecting the affairs of other nations (i.e., My Business Not Yours Inc.)

[Spoa]

Let me get this straight...

Senator McCain who voted for the Toomey-Manchin gun control "compromise", which would require background checks on Americans, wants to arm Syrian rebels with ties to Al-Qaeda without doing any background checks on them. So he trusts Al-Qaeda more than he does regular Americans?

The government doesn't even pay for regular Americans to have weapons, yet they want to arm terrorists with weapons and pay for them. That's dumb.

Pretty good timing for Rand considering in his CNN editorial yesterday before the news of this broke:


Now we see the same enthusiasm for another U.S. intervention, this time in Syria. The Syria Transition Support Act approved last week by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, of which I am a member, has the potential to create more problems for the United States than it would solve. It is unclear what national security interests we have in the civil war in Syria. It is very clear that any attempt to aid the Syrian rebels would be complicated and dangerous, precisely because we don't know who these people are.

He really is a dipshit, and always has been. I was watching a morning show the other day where the hosts were talking about how much they admired him for "sneaking into syria" even though he was a former POW. I understand that McCain is stupid, crooked, and been riding that POW horse for 50 years, but what the fuck is wrong with these people who admire that dimwitted tool??

[Cleaner44]

I doubt he cares. McCain is simply interested in driving weapon sales up and that happens by creating more customers. More conflict is good for business and McCain is all about promoting the business of war.

McCain's office said that no one in the meeting identified themselves as Nour or Ibrahim.

"A number of the Syrians who greeted Sen. McCain upon his arrival in Syria asked to take pictures with him, and as always, the senator complied. If the individual photographed with Sen. McCain is in fact Mohamed Nour, that is regrettable," said spokesman Brian Rogers in an email.

"But it would be ludicrous to suggest that the senator in any way condones the kidnapping of Lebanese Shia pilgrims or has any communication with those responsible. Sen. McCain condemns such heinous actions in the strongest possible terms."

LMAO. he was on cnn with anderson cooper just yesterday confidently saying 'we are pretty sure weapons given to the rebels won't be used the wrong way' followed by various extremely circumstantially subjective reasons,

i was thinking the whole time 'how the fuck do you know all this? you guys been getting shit wrong for years', and i remember thinking 'you don't sound convincing at all, all people have to do is to have a 3rd grade memory and be able to remember, even slightly, what went on in iraq'.

then the next morning, this news breaks, he doesn't even know the person that is posing as one of the 'trusted rebel leaders', but he thinks we should go out there and start handing weapon to these leaders' minions, lol, and god knows wtf they do with the weapons. mccain was trying to hard to speak in this motherly tone 'these are good people! they have no idea why we won't help them' in a disgustingly soft tone that was stomach turning. even worse now after this shit goes down

i would emphasize that the problem is he -claimed- he knew these people on cnn during the interview with anderson cooper, and he was advocating on their behalf for american weapons, saying the rebel forces have gained his trust 100%,

and he wants the american public to trust him to trust those people too, all the while claiming the intelligence on the ground is sufficient and reliable, they would never make a mistake (as they have been in the past). that's where this irony is headed

It's simple; They (McCain and staff) trust him (kidnapper), they don't trust you.

McCain is a cash cow for the FSA. If they were trying to be given millions in aid, John McCain is a man to be treated with respect. Anyone over there so much as looking at him sideways would be undoubtedly dealt with. No one would dare take a shot at McCain.. on either side. The FSA wants money and air support. Assad's troops do not want to give justification for American air strikes. He probably stayed in a lavish hotel. I have no doubts of it.

I was under the impression that John McCain was treated rather good in captivity. A hell of a lot better than the other POWs, at least. Might be mistaken, I haven't really looked into it.
He was initially, they used him a propaganda. They actually offered to release him, but he refused unless they released everyone else in his camp. Thats when the hell began

In mid-1968, John S. McCain, Jr. was named commander of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam theater, and the North Vietnamese offered McCain early release[43] because they wanted to appear merciful for propaganda purposes,[44] and also to show other POWs that elite prisoners were willing to be treated preferentially.[43] McCain turned down the offer; he would only accept repatriation if every man taken in before him was released as well. Such early release was prohibited by the POW's interpretation of the military Code of Conduct: To prevent the enemy from using prisoners for propaganda, officers were to agree to be released in the order in which they were captured.[33]

In August 1968, a program of severe torture began on McCain.[45] He was subjected to rope bindings and repeated beatings every two hours, at the same time as he was suffering from dysentery.[33][45] Further injuries led to the beginning of a suicide attempt, stopped by guards.[33] Eventually, McCain made an anti-American propaganda "confession".[33] He has always felt that his statement was dishonorable, but as he later wrote, "I had learned what we all learned over there: Every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine."[46][47] Many American POWs were tortured and maltreated in order to extract "confessions" and propaganda statements;[48] virtually all of them eventually yielded something to their captors.[49] McCain subsequently received two to three beatings weekly because of his continued refusal to sign additional statements.[50]

McCain refused to meet with various anti-war groups seeking peace in Hanoi, wanting to give neither them nor the North Vietnamese a propaganda victory.[51] From late 1969 onward, treatment of McCain and many of the other POWs became more tolerable,[52] while McCain continued actively to resist the camp authorities.[53] McCain and other prisoners cheered the U.S. "Christmas Bombing" campaign of December 1972, viewing it as a forceful measure to push North Vietnam to terms.[47][54]

Altogether, McCain was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years. He was released on March 14, 1973.[55] His wartime injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head.[56]


I mean you can and I certainly dislike the mans politics, but hes a still a hero in many respects

From something Justin Raimondo wrote... was the kidnapper a cannibal as well?


Ron reads antiwar.

Why John McCain Wants to Aid Syrian Terrorists
His trip to Syria in support of lung-eating savages


When John McCain slipped into Syria the other day to meet with Islamist rebels, Sen. Lindsey Graham tweeted “best wishes” to his fellow warmonger and claimed “dibs on his office if he doesn’t come back.” Leave it to Sen. Graham, who has been agitating along with McCain for the US to send weapons to the rebels, to joke about the untrustworthiness of the very people he wants to arm. But the rebels’ savagery is no joke: we are, after all, talking about people who eat the lungs of their enemies.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) had it kind of right when he admonished the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after it voted for a bill that would arm Syria’s Islamist insurgents:

“This is an important moment. You will be funding, today, the allies of al Qaeda. It’s an irony you cannot overcome.”

And yet irony doesn’t quite cover it: insanity is more like it. Here is a man who is the Republican party’s voice when it comes to foreign policy, a role he has appropriated due to his intimacy with those who book the Sunday talk shows, and yet when it comes to America’s relationship with the rest of the world his utter and complete ignorance is appalling.
[...]
In short, McCain doesn’t know s%^*t about foreign policy: he has been wrong, wrong, wrong about absolutely everything. So it isn’t merely ironic that he is leading the charge in demanding we intervene in Syria – it’s downright crazy.

What’s puzzling is why anyone is listening to him. And his fellow Senators are certainly paying attention: an overwhelming bipartisan vote of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved the McCain-Menendez bill authorizing aid to the rebels (there were only three dissents).
[...]
So what did McCain do in Syria? The military backbone of the opposition is the al-Nusra Front, which has recently pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda. Did McCain meet with their commanders – in spite of the fact that they have recently been added to the State Department’s list of officially-designated terrorist organizations? He didn’t say. What we do know about his trip is that he went and listened to their demands that we set up a no fly zone, send them guns and cash, and attack Hezbollah in Lebanon – yes, Lebanon. They want us to widen the war, and naturally Sen. McCain is for that, too. Has there ever been a war he didn’t want to escalate?
[...]
Finally, it may be initially puzzling to contemplate the support for aiding the rebels coming from supposedly staunch opponents of “terrorism,” such as McCain and Graham. But when you think about it, it makes perfect sense: those two don’t care so much about fighting jihadists as they do about effecting regime-change throughout the Middle East. Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran – all are in the War Party’s sights, and the Two Amigos are leading the charge. Forget about the “war on terrorism” – that was a cover story from the very beginning. The real story of American foreign policy in the new millennium is all about regime change.

It's sickening in the Syrian Senate hearing, all these clowns patronizing John McCain as a war hero, when it was his very own incompetence that made him a POW. McCain should over never been a POW, because he should of been kicked out of the US Navy for his repeated reckless and substandard performance. Wife cheater...
