We have no love lost for McCain - his stand in favor of attacking Syria is lunacy. But now and then he shows some intelligence . . .
From ZeroHedge.com
Following a "spirited" town hall in Phoenix forcused on Syria, Senator
John McCain made comments to a local TV crew. "The fact is [Syrian
President] Bashar Assad has massacred 100,000 people. The conflict is
spreading... The Russians are all in, the Iranians are all in, and it's an unfair fight,"
McCain told KFYI's Mike Broomhead. "And
no one wants American boots on the ground. Nor will there be American
boots on the ground because there would be an impeachment of the
president if they did that." McCain also slammed Obama, exclaiming "the president has bungled this beyond belief." CBS reports
that McCain then added that the President "announced that he's going to
strike and then say, 'No, I'm going to the American Congress.' I can't
believe how badly he’s mishandled this issue."

McCain repeatedly told about 150 constituents at the morning
meeting that there would be no plans to send U.S. troops to retaliate
for the chemical weapons attack last month near Damascus.
“I want to begin by saying to you I am unalterably opposed to having a
single American boot on the ground in Syria,” McCain said. “The
American people wouldn’t stand for it.
“Second of all, it would not be anything but counterproductive to do that. American blood and treasure is too precious to do that.”
McCain told KFYI that he understands why American voters are cynical about a strike on Syria.
“They are largely against any action in Syria and I understand their skepticism,” McCain said.

“If we open the door to the use of chemical weapons and let
it go unresponded to, then I think that sends a signal to other people
that want to use them, that they can do so with impunity,” McCain said.
