John, John, Johnā¦ Their strategy is to win each news cycle. Their plan is to further enrich themselves. Everything/everyone else is simply collateral damage.
To a Republican like McCain, a strike is incomplete without collateral damage.
Twitterstorm INCOMING!
And if anyone knows about incoherent strategies for Syria its Johnny McWar. I donāt think thereās ever been a war the good Senator didnāt want us to get into one way or another. Last I recall, arming āthe rebelsā was his harebrained idea. Which rebels John? Like we did with the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, that later brought us Osama Bin Laden?
Just when John learned the difference between Sunni and Shiāa, he forgot about all the other complicated relationships and factions whoāve been fighting in the Civil War. Itās true dRumpF needs some kind of planā¦but this isnāt exactly the guy Iād be taking my advice from. His advice has always been ādo somethingā or āits never enoughā. Thatās the kind of meaningless granularity most people can live without.
Oh FFS can someone find a nursing home for gramps.
Heās on the loose again ā¦
Using the street corner soap box, thinking everyone values his opinion ā¦
āThat Obama ā¦ I shouldāve beat him ā¦ Iāll get evenā¦ā
Garrulous old man blames current occupant for most recent bad thing on Sunday gasbag political talk show. THIS IS SHOCKING, UNPRECEDENTED AND CHANGES EVERYTHING
Iām witcha, Jon. Iāve been off Grampyās lawn or case for as long as heās been off his feed, or off his game. Say anything you want, bud. Weāre gonna be needing your vote someday. I hope.
McCain (today): Entire blame lies with Obama administration. Obama was too busy spying on Trump.
No, Matt, Mattā¦Itās a GAME CHANGER.
Uh huh. Because heās a MAVERICK. And NOBODY ELSE has EVER CRITICIZED DONALD TRUMP. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
The strike was, shall we say, a royal bust? It was nowhere near effective. Then again, what do you expect from a President more concerned about looking macho than actually doing anything effective at all.
I keep reminding myself āNobody watches on Sunday. Nobody watches on sunday. Nobody watches on sunday.ā
Strike? Ineffective? Well, Kommander Kaos entire military strategy was misplaced. He said runways are cheap to fill in and fix, and in this case that was wrong.,He didnāt take into account that even Al Quaeda, ISIS and Syria PAY their contractors.
Bigly so!
CBS is claiming, in a poll taken April 7-8 with a 4 point +/-, that Trumpās (only) approval (to date) rose 3 points due to the Syria āattackā?!?!
Sounds like CBS wants this love-starved President to make another war connectionā¦
The takeaway would be that Trump needs a strategy. Except that that is as plain as the nose on Pinocchioās face already.
Yeah, I want to start my day discussing which of the DC GOP is the oddest/most incompetent/etc.
Cāmon, TPM, stay focused.
Weāve been listening to this man talk about āstrategiesā for decades. What weāve never heard him do is offer one. Letās not for get that McCain comes from a family with several generations of itās men becoming General officers. Admirals. But John McCain was passed over for that rank. That would be the rank strategy making is left to. The US Navy decided to keep John McCain from obtaining rank high enough to take part in strategy. Lets not forget that.
likely āpartially to blameā
I doubt McCainās language wouldāve been so reserved if the Obama administration had given a green light by saying Assadās future was up to the Syrian people three days before the Butcher of Damascus gassed children.
