John McCain Caught Again! Senator Photographed With ISIS Chief
Senator McCain has courted controversy previously after a laptop belonging to one of his staffers was hacked, and a staged ISIS beheading was found in it.
This time photo’s have surfaced (which were previously broadcast worldwide) in which the Senator is hanging out with the same individuals who are allegedly causing trouble in Iraq and Syria.
Madworldnews.com reports:
It’s pretty bad when Al Arabiya, a Muslim Middle East news paper, makes fun of your statement that you can identify the “good guys” in Syria. It is another to get caught in the middle of funding, being filmed, and photographed with a terrorist organization. It seems John McCain either is a traitor, as his fellow Veterans from Vietnam call him, or he can’t tell a “moderate rebel” from the ISIS leader, who was also filmed with McCain despite the multi-million dollar contract on his head.

Benghazi: A new nadir for neocon nuttiness
When I attended a conference of conservatives outside Washington recently, I talked with a number of retired special-operations officers. They were devoted to exposing the bureaucratic bungling that led to the deaths of two Navy SEALs in Libya last Sept. 11.
I could see their point. The military has been badly served by the civilian leadership during the full 12 years of the so-called "War On Terror."

But when it comes to Benghazi, just what are all those members of Congress yammering on about?

RNC: McCain delivers classic neocon foreign policy speech
John McCain sounded like George W. Bush as he delivered a hawkish foreign policy sermon at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, attempting to garner votes via frothy emotional appeal as he tossed around worn platitudes and stale ideas.
McCain espoused the same interventionist gospel that has led to quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan and has forced the U.S. to the brink of financial and spiritual bankruptcy.

John McCain's Neocon Manifesto
It's no secret that John McCain, once a prominent realist, has steadily converted to neoconservatism over the past two decades. He is now the movement's most visible champion, which is to say that McCain has been at the forefront of championing almost every bad idea of the past decade, including serving as a cheerleader for the war in Iraq. Now McCain has issued a neocon manifesto for Mitt Romney in Foreign Policy. Whether Romney would agree with it in practice—as opposed to in his truculent rhetoric—is an open question. But McCain's article, which is measured in tone, demonstrates that he would like to see a reversion to the George W. Bush era, with Romney as the new Dubya—and perhaps himself as its Cheney, serving as defense secretary? If McCain's prescriptions were adopted, however, he would accelerate the very American decline he seeks to avert. In fact, the neocon approach to foreign affairs is what first began the erosion of American power and influence.
McCain, of course, does not see it that way. His argument can be boiled down to a simple argument: President Obama is personally culpable for everything that has gone wrong with America in recent years. In mismanaging the economy, he is sapping the ability of America to lead around the world. Add to that the projected cuts to defense spending, his failure to cater to allies, his eagerness to truckle to Vladimir Putin and—well, you get the idea.

Hawk vs. Hawk
Redistricting has forced two freshmen House Republicans from Arizona to run for the same northwestern Phoenix seat. John McCain, the state’s senior senator, has a favorite. McCain endorsed Ben Quayle, son of the former vice president, for a very McCain-like reason.
In May, Quayle voted for the National Defense Authorization Act, which contained a provision that could lead to the indefinite detention of American citizens charged with but not convicted of terrorism. Quayle’s primary opponent Dave Schweikert voted against the bill. National Journal reported that this simple difference explained McCain’s endorsement.

Neocon mouthpiece McCain suggests US not to quit Afghan war
Neocon mouthpiece McCain wants US troops to remain in Afghanistan so they are there for the coming war with Iran as America first patriot James Morris conveyed last month on ‘Russia Today’s ‘Crosstalk’ program about Syria (see the youtube link at http://tinyurl.com/JamesMorrisonCrossTalk). And of course ‘Neocon John’ McCain mentions 9/11 as the reason for US remaining in the Afghanistan quagmire but doesn’t address the primary motive for 9/11 (and the earlier attack on the World Trade Center in 1993) which was US support for Israel’s brutal oppression of the Palestinians as conveyed via http://tinyurl.com/911motivation & http://tinyurl.com/911motivemediabetrayal & http://tinyurl.com/motivation911 as well!

Neocon Twins McCain and Graham Sad About Troubling Lack of Airstrikes In Libya In February and March
Because of the reflexive “everything Obama does is wrong” strategy for Republican control of government, you have a spectacle where the President intervened in a foreign country and led to an apparent change in regime, and according to Lindsey Graham and John McCain the real problem was that we didn’t commit more resources into Libya back in February and March:
This achievement was made possible first and foremost by the struggle and sacrifice of countless Libyans, whose courage and perseverance we applaud. We also commend our British, French, and other allies, as well as our Arab partners, especially Qatar and the UAE, for their leadership in this conflict. Americans can be proud of the role our country has played in helping to defeat Qaddafi, but we regret that this success was so long in coming due to the failure of the United States to employ the full weight of our airpower.
This isn’t even the Green Lantern Theory of Geopolitics, it’s the Superman theory, where the neocons re-spin the Earth and pitch the scenario that leads to the most death and destruction.

McCain’s Rejection of Torture Puts Brakes on Neocon Assault
We heard from Marcy that John McCain had a decent op-ed today in the Washington Post, denouncing torture and laying out the facts on the role of torture. He affirmed that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed lied under torture about key facts related to the courier which harbored bin Laden, and he also provided more information on subsequent intelligence from other sources, none of which, he says, was gained through torture.
But he didn’t stop there. McCain took to the Senate floor and spoke for 20 minutes on the same subject today. He criticized sharply the stance that torture yields good intelligence, and added that it harms our effort in both counter-terrorism and the greater Muslim world
