#1 McCain - the guy who called the Libyan Islamists his 'heros'

McCain - the guy who, after Morsi's 'my 'nurse hatred for Jews' remark was taken out of context' excuse, asked Obama to increase aid to Egypt

#2 Give it a rest, McCain. You have nothing to offer but publicity. It is sad.

#3 He's an excellent argument for term limits; has been for a number of years. We should be sending the Russians thank you notes on this one.

#4 Easy to talk tough about removing a guy we all agree is an odious thug. Tough part is what happens next.

A fair number of us, including me, were all for removing Saddam, and we thought we had it figured out how things would play after that. Didn't turn out like we thought. Removing Saddam was still a great idea, and there's any number of innocents in Iraq who are (or at least should be) grateful, but al-Maliki and his gang aren't what we bargained for.

If McCain has a plan that will keep the al-Qaeda surrogates out of a new Syrian government, I'm all ears.

#5 It's not clear to me what's wrong with those people shooting at each other instead of us.

#9 Ditto RJ. A psychiatric eval might be a valid place to begin. I think the ole boy has a few dangling issues.
