McCain: Congress' Rejecting Use of Force in Syria Would be Catastrophic

Sen. John McCain said Monday that he and Sen. Lindsey Graham had "a candid exchange" with President Barack Obama on Syria, and warned that "the consequences would be catastrophic" if Congress voted against a military strike against President Bashar al-Assad for his use of chemical weapons.

"The consequences would be catastrophic because it would undermine the credibility of the United States of America and the credibility of the President of the United States. None of us want that."

"We had a candid exchange," the Arizona senator said, noting that he was encouraged by the Obama meeting. "We found some areas where we can work together, but we have a long way to go.”

Graham, who represents South Carolina, also expressed optimism about the session but added: "The president has to fix this. We urged the president to up his game. If we don’t get Syria right, we don't want endless war. We want sustainable stability.

It's the credibility of the Obama Administration that's blown, you ninnies, and its been blown since 2008.  McCain and Graham:  the usual suspects are at it again.

Right.  Take an ill-advised threat and compound the problem.

Sharing your service dates, MOS, and duty stations would be cathartic for the soul, Princess Poseur.

Same old story, different thread:

Dates of service.

MOS.

Duty location.

If nothing else, I'm consistent, right, poser?

We need to bring our troops home and let the Muzzie's kill their own.

This President of the US went on an apology tour, bowed to a sand monkey and let it be known that this is not the greatest country in the world. The sorry pr!ck lost all respect I had for him; he will go down as the worst President since LBJ.

McCain and Graham are two old timers that need to be replaced. Their brains have been infected with the culture of Washington DC. Let the President and the Democraps dig themselves out of this hole. Vote NO to bombings.

The only reason the United States is being pressured to consider military action is because Obama opened his ****ing mouth and now either has to step up to the plate or back down.

What a bad joke.

And the fact that a couple of guys that should know better, especially McCain, are saying we need to do this just because Presidente DUmbass stepped on his crank is mind blowing

Soothing Obama's ego is not worth military intervention of any kind.  **** that place.

As long as Obummer is in office, the rest of the world knows we are a paper Tiger. Spending millions of dollars to save face for his stupidity is not worth it. We have no national intrest there. Bombing them will just make the Muzzies hate us more in the M.E.

Catastrophic for Obama, maybe.  Not convinced that the outcome is worse for America by any means.

Rangel, and many pols are battering rodeowebuma with accusations of embarrassing the party to owebuma being downright wrong. Syria has shown the emperor to have no clothes like nothing else during his appalling presidency.
