TODAY’S “FREEDOM FIGHTER” IS TOMORROW’S “RADICAL JIHADIST”
One of the occupational hazards of being a hypocritical warmonger slavishly serving the needs of the American military-industrial complex is you have to surrender pretty much every shred of credibility you ever had …
Take U.S. Sen. John McCain (RINO-Arizona) – who along with Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.) is one of the top “war gods” in the federal government.
McCain and Graham are all over the administration of Barack Obama to launch a third crusade in Iraq – where fighters linked to al-Qaeda are about to overthrow a regime hand-picked by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) at the end of America’s second crusade.
The only problem?
To support their calls for military action, McCain and Graham are having to flip-flop multiple “allegiances.”
For starters, they are now condemning the same fighters they supported (the same fighters U.S. taxpayers are still subsidizing) in the civil war in Syria. You know, these gentlemen.
They are also pushing for an alliance with Iran – the same country Graham wanted to invade less than a year ago (and the same country he said would detonate a nuclear device in Charleston harbor in the event America didn’t support al-Qaeda backed fighters in Syria).
Dizzy yet? We are …
Anyway, this week the “terrorist group” ISIS – or the “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria” – released pictures of its members hamming it up with McCain, who helped secure all sorts of money and weapons for them.
Bear in mind this is the same group McCain called “the worst of the worst” earlier this month in advocating for American air strikes in Iraq. It’s also the same group McCain says is planning attacks on the American homeland and U.S. military and diplomatic installations abroad.
WTF?
Here’s the bottom line, people: If there is a terrorist attack in America perpetrated by ISIS or its affiliates, we will have no one to blame but John McCain, Lindsey Graham and the Washington sheeple who refused to stand up to them.

“he said would detonate a nuclear device in Charleston harbor in the event America didn’t support al-Qaeda backed fighters in Syria)”
He didn’t say that and you know it. Yet you have no compunction in continuing to lie.
This site is going to hell in a hand basket. With Will’s head in the the sand he has no idea who or what is butt fucking him.
he said that iranian weapons in the hands of terrorists could end up in the harbor. which may or may not be the same thing as saying iran would bomb the harbor. (i doubt chaz harbor is high on the target list)
he= i mean graham said that.
Nuclear weapons in the hands of rogue nations and/or terrorists could in fact be used on almost ANY “target”. What I got out of Graham’s statement was that his SC audience should not take solace in the fact that these bad guys do not possess “normal” delivery means such as airplanes, ICBMs, etc. They could always bring the device in via a ship into harbors such as NYC or Charleston. Why did he say Charleston? Because he was talking to a SC audience. Sic Willie wants to twist it to fit his hate Graham thesis hoping no one goes back to see what Graham actually said. I guess Sic Willie thinks this will help his buddy TRav.
How about a law that says any politician who votes to go to war be on the front lines?
Outstanding idea!!!
Seal the US border while we are at it!!!
I believe he has been.
The question is,would he go to this one with the grunts?
Gasp! Has anyone broken the news to Sarah Palin that her running mate was “palling around with terrorists”?
“We know what they were, they were terriss!”
Freaking demented warhawk.
Ole’ John – still fighting his way out of Southaast Asia. Let’s see – he wants to bomb Iran, bomb Syria, bomb Iraq, bomb Russia, build the dang fence, give amnesty, and invade Canada. Anything else John?
Might as well throw Venezuela and Cuba in there whilst you’re at the switch.
Just a couple of notes here to explain how bad these “freedom fighters” really are:
1. The real name of their “organization” is ?????? ????????? ?? ?????? ??????? which actually translates “The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” or ISIL – not the slightly less ominous sounding ISIS or Islamic state of Iraq and Syria the press likes to use (They can be legimately referred to as ISIS when you understand that the last “S” refers to Al Sham or “the Levant”).
2. Why is ISIL worse than ISIS – why is the difference important to understand? Simple, the Levant consists of Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and southern Turkey and that’s the minimal territory this group will be satisfied with. What they are really after is a “caliphate” in the entire region we generally refer to as “the Middle East”.
3. While they claim to be after a “caliphate”, what they really are is a large group of criminals seeking to expand their wealth and control. Should they take Bagdad, the first thing they’ll do is loot the place then install one of their leaders as the “president” – there will then be a long stream of increasingly bad leaders taking power in coups – al la the same schemes that brought Saddam to power.
Well said Colonel. Whilest I poke fun at many things here – on this issue it is fair to say, where Johnny was friends with them or not, we have to deal with them. We’ve created a huge vacuum of lawless territory stretching from Damascus to Bag-daddy. Iraq and Syria have allowed that area to fill up with modern day Islamic Poncho Villa’s. We will need to deal with this, along with the other countries in the region – notabely Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and yes – oh my goodness – Iran. I’m still sayin’ – Iran is long term a darn better friend than Israel could be. Iran can kill’s ’em lots of Russians.
McCain is a despicable warmonger
… we’re eventually going to have to deal with these ????? ????? one day.
You mean buy oil from them and support them militarily against Iran, like we do with their Saudi brethren?
Yeah, no, not so mush…. there aren’t enough Saudis to really be a threat, that’s why they have used proxies. In the Levant there is something like
It’s tempting to say screw’em and just invade Canada and Mexico and take their oil.
Don’t give them any ideas.
And the point is ? Kill, Kill, Kill, Take, Take, Take. Too boring Patriot.
Poet/Philosopher/Man-About-Town John Michael Osborne spake thusly:
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death’s construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds… Oh Lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait ’till their Judgment day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of Judgment, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah!
Just bomb the hell out of all of ’em and sort out which cemetary to bury ’em in after the nuclear cloud passes.
Of course you would be advocating genocide. Look at how well it worked here on Native Americans.
How different is what you suggest from ISIS plans?
Just bomb the hell out of all of ’em and sort out which cemetary to bury ’em in after the nuclear cloud passes.
Embarrassing yes, but it doesn’t mean anything. Rosalynn Carter was photographed with John Wayne Gacy and Jim Jones.

This picture says it all.
Our Middle East policy has been so screwed up by both parties that it is probably beyond salvaging.The region appears to be headed for a general religious civil war.
We may indeed have to “deal” with ISIS but we should on our own terms ,not within the context of the civil wars going on.
We’ve done quite enough damage there already.
We don’t intervene unless we can see a profit to us. And don’t think the countries we invade don’t know that.
Guantanamo has made generations of enemies, from multiple countries.
Using Saddam Hussein against Iran, and his brutality against his own people with our resources hurt us. Not bringing to task Israel for the atrocious number of civilian casualties doesn’t endear us to Arabs or Middle Easterners.
We are short-sighted by own gain, and blind or uncaring of the damage we leave. It is how we treat our own helpless in this country.
John McCain should be charged as a terrorist for his worldwide warmongering tour trying to insight numerous wars and for treason.

Resurgent Renegade Radical Iraq Shows That Bush FAILED Completely!
Mission NOT Accomplished
Why not blame Bush? He has been out of office 5 1/2 years.
Can I blame Hitler for the Holocaust? It’s been 66 years!
Hitler created and supported the Holocaust.
England issued the Balfour declaration, but oppose Jewish immigration to Palestine and fought Zionists. Zionists created a Jewish homeland.
The New Deal was FDR’s program.
George Bush was never a member, founder or supporter of ISIS.
Your logic is to blame Lincoln for for the Civil War. Bush supported the Arab Awakening which defeated the Al Qaeda of Iraq who are the precursor of ISIS. Obama ignored the situation in Syria and allowed it’s rebirth as a much more violent and dangerous organization with international pretensions.
The problems in Syria occurred on Obama’s watch and have spend to Iraq.
Bush’s intention? Incompetence is an excuse? The British fought Zionists, and lost – can’t we blame them for losing that battle?
If Hitler had not intended the Holocaust, because he didn’t think his commanders would go that far in hindsight, would it absolve him?
At least you’re willing to blame FDR for the new deal. How about going off the gold standard?
The Iraq war is Bushes deal and Obama has bought in on Afghanistan, hook line and sinker. International problems are not neatly solved at the end of an administration like an episode of NCIS.
The situation with Syria and ISIS has not cost innocent American lives yet, but it has occurred on Obama’s watch. It has continued to grow an expand. How would you say he has handled it?
Do you blame yourself for getting a nail in your tire, and not having enough time to pull over before it blows out? Or do you blame fate?
————————
and not having enough time to pull over before it blows out?
————————-
I believe Obama has had enough time. He hopes it will go away by itself. When the public pressure rises to a certain level ( wheel rims are damaged and the treads are flying off he decides to remove the nail and plug the tire )
He recently decide to help so called “good rebels”. Wouldn’t it have been better to provide assistance early in the crisis before foreign fighters got involved. Can this late assistance turn the situation around without a no fly zone enforced?
Shouldn’t Obama have acted with 300 advisors several months back when ISIS had only taken Fallujah and Ramadi?
I’ll bet you’re a real hoot watching a football game.
You should quit blaming the prior coach. He has been gone 5 1/2 years. That’s time enough for the new coach to rebuild the program.
I probably wouldn’t have been as critical of Obama if you hadn’t started in on Bush for events 5 1/2 years after leaving office.
You should quit blaming the prior coach.
——-
He sold the stadium and spent all of the recruitment money.
Debt Up $6.666 Trillion Under Obama. That should’ve been plenty.
He recruited his own team.
How do you think he is doing?
Bush removes the wheel of a car going over the cliff, and says “here, you drive” – and you complain about the cost of the repairs… the car was fine when Obama got the wheel… maybe the cost of a new steering wheel…
One last time. With all his difficulties, how is Obama doing? Or can all you say is Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush?
You are as bad as the Benghazi crowd.
My aim is to be worse than the Benghazi crowd.
“Republicans in Congress keep blocking or voting down almost every serious idea. This year alone they’ve said no to raising the minimum wage, no to fair pay, no to student loan reform, no to extending unemployment insurance,” Mr. Obama said. “This obstruction keeps the system rigged for those at the top and rigged against the middle class. And as long as they insist on doing it, I’ll keep taking actions on my own — like the actions I’ve already taken to attract new jobs, lift workers’ wages and help students pay off their loans. I’ll do my job.”
McCain and Grahamesty are mentally unstable …. pressured by military contractor’s lobbyist … Now what kind of kickbacks are they being promised? Meanwhile, it would be insane to go back into Iraq. Hey? Lets deport all the illegal cockroaches that are invading the USA to Iraq!! YES!!! … Tens of thousands of them will end up in Columbia South Carolina soon. And barely a peek out of any media in the state. Amazing!!!

McCain and the POW Cover-Up
